Located in the Acheron Valley along the banks of the Goulburn river, picturesque panoramic views over the hills and the ranges are in abundance. My husband and I live on a 130 acre farm with about 60 kangaroos, approximatly 1.5 - 2 hours from Melbourne CBD and easily accesable by train and bus. Our farm has beef cattle as well as horses and we can accomodate 1-3 WWOOFERs at any one time. We have many general garden and farm jobs, such as weeding, fencing, pruning, tending the vegitable garden, and looking after our chooks (chickens). You will have your own room. Many of our WWOOFERs catch the bus back to Melbourne on the weekends. Located just North of the Yarra Valley, we are situated in prime farming land 270metres above sea level, the Goulburn River winds it way past our property and into the distance. We have a lot of resident wildlife including the hairy nosed wombat, echidnas, many birds such as cockatoos, kookaburras, blue wrens and honey eaters to name a few. A stepping stone if you like, to many agricultural industries including orcharding, dairying, vineculture, and horticulture. In our imediate area we have wineries, cherry orchards, aquaculture, beef production, and horticulutal interests. Formally a dairy farm, our farm is quite large and features beef cattle, and horses. We are establishing an orchard/veggie garden and we have many house and garden maintenance jobs to complete. Although not certified, we do not use pesticides and aim to be organic whenever possible. We plan to build on and extend the 50 years of work including extensive tree planting that my parents have completed on the farm and we hope to create a wetland in the future. After a short stint with WWOOFers back in 2018, we have opened up our house and farm again to this wonderful experience. Take a trip on the wild side down under, we welcome your interest.

It gives me a lot of peace and satisfaction to deal with animals. I enjoy caring for them, observing their behavior and making sure they feel comfortable and safe.I used to ride horses for almost 2 years. It was great interacting with the horses and working with them. Dealing with animals helps me relax and gives me a sense of responsibility and satisfaction. I also think it is important to learn where our food comes from and how it is produced. Learning about growing vegetables and other products really appeals to me, because I enjoy eating tasty and healthy food. By understanding how food is grown in a sustainable and responsible way, I can be more conscious about what I eat while increasing my knowledge about nature. For me, caring for animals and enjoying good food is a way to relax and enjoy everyday life.

We have a beautiful 40 acre horse agistment property, veggie garden & fruit trees and approx. 5 acres bush. 3 min drive to surf beach, bay beach & Inverloch town or 10 min drive to Wonthaggi, a larger town. Push bikes available. About 15 to 20 minutes to the beach and town by bike. We are very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle and hope that our WWOOFers are also interested in living sustainably and learning, and sharing knowledge of this. There are almost always wallabies and kangaroos at our farm and if you are lucky you may see echidnas, wombats & occasional koalas. Volunteering may include harvesting, fertilizing, pollinating, composting, mulching, hay carting, weeding, fencing, planting, food preservation, and other jobs as they become available.  Sometimes there is some work caring for horses: often all the work is in the garden and paddock maintenance, as the horses are mainly looked after by their owners. Accommodation for up to 3 in our home, although we usually prefer 2. Shared meals, cook together. We eat a healthy, sustainable diet.  Bron is vegan and while Ray eats most foods, many meals are vegan or vegetarian.  Vegetarians & vegans catered for.  No children, no smoking, all stays negotiable on application. Please let us know your available dates when you apply and the length of time that you would like to WWOOF here. (1 to 2 weeks preferred).

I plan on spending a few years in australia, I love gardening and growing veggies and chatting with like minded people. I would also love to learn new things especially around the self sufficient life style .

'Little Farm' is on 17 acres on the eastern edge of Trentham in Central Victoria, one and a quarter hours north west of Melbourne. The area is known for its rich, red basalt soil, high rainfall, cold winters, beautiful gardens, tall trees and potatoes. It also grows superb blueberries and a small patch is well established here, yielding a crop offered for sale at local farmers markets. The property also has ornamental gardens under development and all horticultural pursuits have been conducted chemical free for the past ten years. Extensive mulching, organic fertilizers, worm farming and recycling are all used as restorative practices to improve the soil and plantings over time. There is a swimming pond for cooling off when the weather's very hot. Trentham has a supermarket, two hotels, great cafes, a neighbourhood centre, library, tennis courts, public pool, primary school and oval. All within an easy walk. I have two slightly boisterous, (but not big) dogs.

To take part in an exchange of my labour for cultural and technical learning. I enjoy gardening and working outdoors. To make my extended holiday less mundane. Maybe to help me be less afraid of coming across snakes and spiders in Australia.

I would like to discover as part of my trip to Australia the different cultures, be immersed with the people of the country and help them in their activities. The Wwoofing offers me the opportunity to participate in physical work, activities on farms, be in nature or take care of animals. Indeed, I love physical work and enjoy nature and its benefits. I have the exchange value that the woofing offers. In my personal life with my surroundings, we serve each other with confidence. For example, I kept the house of the mother of a sick friend during 9 months during 2024, so that the house remained occupied, secured and maintained, I stayed free of charge in this house. while waiting for the house to be renovated and rented. Moreover, It is a real opportunity to learn more about Australia and its people as well as to make new acquaintances.

To gain new experiences with people and see how they live. Connect to the land I’m on.

We are nestled on 100 acres of stunning bushland on Wonnarua Country, in the midst of the Watagan forest of the Lower Hunter Valley, 1.5 hours from Sydney and Newcastle. There is a wide variety of wildlife including lyrebirds, wallabies, echidnas and wombats, blue and fairy wrens, kookaburras, satin bower birds, black and sulphur crested cockatoos. We are growing tomatoes, pumpkins, zucchinis, mustard greens, rocket, kale, broccoli, carrots, beans (all types), herbs (all types), citrus, and many other fruits and vegetables. We are in the process of developing a master plan for our property, having moved here in August 2018. We are increasing the number of fruit and nut trees, are continually expanding the vegetable gardens, and enjoy fresh eggs with our 6 chickens and 2 roosters. The property is situated on the crest of a hill, with a beautiful area for camping and meandering in the valley by a natural brook, and another area at the top for workshops and retreats. Keith has a background in Ag Science and biotech start-ups (after a first career as a university professor); Brynnie has been growing not-for-profit organisations in the sustainability, health, maintaining Indigenous culture and social justice space (after a first career in international corporate law) and has studied Zen Shiatsu. Keith has lived in Germany and Brynnie is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese (having lived in Brazil) and gets by in French. Our children are in their mid-20s, having studied art history, philosophy and entrepreneurship, and environmental science, ecology and Spanish. We also have older children (via Keith) and seven grandchildren. We moved to this property in 2018 after having lived in Sydney for more than 25 years. 'Kawalang' means abundance in Wonnarua language. There is more about the property on our website.

I am not intending to be a full time commercial farmer in the near future, as I enjoy my current profession. However, I do want to be able to grow my own food, as well as make a bit of secondary income. While in Australia, it is difficult to progress my professional career much because of Visa restrictions, but doing WWOOF will definitely help me learn skills and gain experience for secondary life goals.

We’re traveling to Australia while taking a winter break from our own organic farm in Sweden. We want to combine meaningful work with the joy of exploring your country and connecting with nature. Through WWOOF, we hope to meet like-minded people who share our values around sustainable living and organic farming. We’re excited to exchange knowledge, learn new skills, and experience Australian farm life. We’re also seeking inspiration for opening our own ecotourism project and welcoming future WWOOFers to our farm.

I joined WWOOF because I want to be in places where I can feel meaningful and make a real contribution. WWOOF seems like the perfect way to do that — combining learning, community, and hands-on experience. I’d love to learn more about Australian culture, improve my farming skills, and enjoy the experience while giving my best and helping wherever I can. I believe the best way to learn and connect is by working together and having fun at the same time.

I joined WWOOF because I am looking for a place to live and work to begin my adventure in Australia. I would like to discover the local culture as closely as possible, by sharing daily life with the people who live here.

Why Wwoof Australia? Because we have a friend who gained experience on this site and strongly recommended it to us. We want to do the same because we are arriving in Brisbane, Australia on 16 November with a working holiday visa. My friend and I agree that we want to have this human experience with Australians, which is why we are choosing farms in particular and not hostels like most backpackers do. It has opened our mind and we can't wait to be with you in this beautiful country.  

My parents run a farm and a cafe. They grow organic strawberries and figs. I’ve learned a bit of organic farming from my parents. Since I started to get interested in organic farming, I wanted to learn more about it from someone other than my parents. Then I thought it would be a good idea to learn about it through WWOOFing while staying in Australia on WH.

Come and experience life at Cowsnest, an 830 acre community farm, conservation area, and wildlife refuge founded in 1975 by people passionate about living close to nature. Nestled just outside the charming village of Candelo and only a short drive from the stunning Sapphire Coast, the property is bordered by national parks and features a beautiful creek, offering endless opportunities for bushwalking, wildlife spotting, or simply relaxing in nature. Cowsnest is affiliated with Potoroo Palace Native Animal Wildlife Park and Sanctuary  

I'm interested in working on a farm because I want to learn more about agricultural techniques. I already have some experience with fencing, fruit picking, weeding, and pruning, and I enjoy working outdoors and doing physical tasks. When I return to France, I’d like to live in the countryside and grow my own fruit and vegetables — so I see this as the perfect opportunity to learn as much as I can and gain more hands-on experience. I also see WWOOFing as a great way to meet new people, discover different ways of living, and improve my English while contributing to meaningful work.
