I joined WWOOF because I was looking for a way to explore as much of Australia as possible in an affordable and meaningful way. I really want to meet locals, learn how people live here, and experience the country beyond the usual tourist spots. Many people recommended WWOOF to me, and the idea of exchanging work for knowledge, community, and real cultural experiences sounded perfect.

I joined WWOOF because I want to improve my English skills, help farmers with their daily work, and learn about organic farming. I also love animals and nature, so I hope to gain hands-on experience while enjoying life on a farm and meeting new people.

My boyfriend and I are on a working holiday visa, looking to work and live in Australia for a while. WWOOFING seemed to be the perfect opportunity for us to settle in, meet some people and get to know the environment that we would eventually like to do paid work in. We have plenty of energy to give back in return! We are very enthousiast about engaging in biological and eco-farming in particular and any linked social activities.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience a simpler and more grounded way of living, close to nature and people. Over the past few years, I’ve been learning how to take better care of myself, using natural and homemade alternatives, and being more mindful of what I consume — in a world where so many things are industrial and harmful to our health.
WWOOFing feels like a meaningful way to continue that journey, while learning new skills, discovering organic farming, and contributing to projects that share these values.
It’s also a unique opportunity for me to connect with local communities, improve my English, and live an enriching adventure during my gap year in Australia.

We are a 90 acre off grid property that produces goats for meat, alpacas for fleece and chickens for eggs using organic and regenerative principles of farming. Situated 20 kms south of Wagga Wagga, there are beautiful views all around. To get here from Sydney, Canberra or Melbourne, you can catch a train or bus to the Wagga Wagga Train and Bus Station and we will pick you up if you let us know in advance. Self drive guests are welcome. Wagga Wagga has an airport if you are flying in and pick up from the airport is available.

Because I’d like to discover the word of the organic farms and enrich my knowledge in that way. I alredy did some wwoofing in Italy and in Australia too, and I really enjoy the moments there, I felt very connected with the people and the places

I'm hoping to gain more experience on farms/small holdings to learn more about sustainable agriculture and different techniques used. I'm also in-between jobs and not one to sit around doing nothing and would much rather be helping out with a someones garden or building project somewhere I'd also like to meet some more like minded people

We are looking for new experiences and meeting interesting people. We are travelling around Australia and want to stop and experience some of the many different regions of this great country that we haven’t had the chance to get to know yet.

In order to ease the anxiety of looking for a job after arriving, I want to first observe the local culture and way of speaking before continuing with my life there.

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 joined WWOOF because I wanted to step outside of my familiar surroundings in Germany and truly immerse myself in a different culture. Traveling can sometimes feel distant or superficial, but WWOOF offers the chance to live and work alongside locals, which to me feels much more authentic and meaningful. A friend recommended the program, and the more I learned about it, the more I felt it aligned with what I was looking for. I’m especially drawn to eco-friendly farming and sustainable lifestyles. Instead of a commercial or tourist-oriented experience, I hope to contribute to something more grounded: working with the land, learning practical skills, and being part of daily life. I see WWOOFing as not just a way to travel, but also as a way to grow personally, gain new perspectives, and connect with people who value community and the environment.

Like my bio points to, I got super burnt out spending long periods behind a computer after the nonprofit I helped found took off. I felt a really strong pull to get outside, get my hands dirty, and get my body moving again. I spent the last year in NZ working and volunteering in various ag industries; I found my best, some of them life-long, connections through WWOOF, so I knew I had to join WWOOF in Australia too!

I joined WWOOF in hopes of exploring a new area of Australia during my time here. I have enjoyed my time in Australia so much that I am looking to complete my 88 days of farm work to extend my visa for a 2nd year.

My friends convinced me it was a fun idea and as someone who is always willing to try new things and give something a go, I'm excited to learn practical skills in a different environment!

I joined WWOOF to find opportunities to complete 417 visa work while contributing to Australian disaster recovery efforts in a meaningful way. I have resources enough to do volunteer work, and I'd prefer to invest my efforts into restoring and preserving the country. My primary goal is to complete enough work to renew my visa, but I may continue volunteering and learning through WWOOF afterward if I'm able.

We are in Australia on a working holiday visa and will be starting the cherry season at the end of November. In the meantime, we want to discover other production models through woofing. I've already had the chance to do this in France and loved it. In our opinion, it's the best way to discover a country, meet people, and learn new things.

Organically certified farm and plant Nursery, we have a large Community farm , walking distance to town, shops and Pub

We both like to be actively and productively engaged. It helps us to connect with locals and we get to see and do things that most travellers miss. We are also able to utilise a lifetime of experiences to bring mutual benefits to our hosts and ourselves.

I love people and my job, but am seeking to take some time in nature, getting my hands dirty, learning, sharing and exploring this beautiful country. I would like to meet like minded people and meaningfully contribute to a more sustainable, kind, connected future.
