Hi, my name is František, I’m 25 years old and I love exploring new places and meeting people from different cultures. I want to volunteer because I enjoy helping others, learning new skills, and giving something back to the communities I visit while traveling.

I decided to join the WWOOF program because I wanted to experience life in a different country and learn how people live close to nature. I’ve always been interested in farming and sustainable living, and I think working and living on a farm will be a wonderful opportunity to learn new things and grow as a person. I also wanted to join WWOOF because I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I believe that staying with a host family is the best way to experience local life, improve my English, and make real connections with people. I’m really excited to help with daily farm work, learn from you, and share my culture as well. I hope to be a positive part of your family and make great memories together during my stay. Thank you for welcoming me into your home!

Elmswood is a beautiful property of 160 acres located just under 30km from Bathurst in NSW and 22km from Blayney. We grow organic eggs to sell locally. Breed and show Paint horses, Miniature Mediterranean and Irish Donkies, Hereford cattle and Alpacas . We are in a peaceful rural area surrounded by beautiful rolling hills of pasture. Paradise! I have been establishing the property for the past 12 months and there is still a lot to do.

I appreciate nature, simplicity, and the connection between people, the earth, and animals. I’m eager to meet those who understand and respect the land, learn how to plant and harvest, and work towards self-sufficiency.

Intentional community based on Permaculture principles with residential lots, common areas and a small farm. Vegetable gardens, 1000 fruit trees and native vegetation.

I am a 3rd year medical student currently studying in Singapore! I love nature and outdoors, and have a special interest in farming. However, due to my busy school schedule, I am unable to explore much. In our 3rd year of medical school, we have a 1 month electives at the end of our curriculum where we can do whatever we want whereever we want! Therefore, I have chosen to sign up for WWOOF to explore farming during our electives.

I’ve found the Woofing Hosts always seemed to have the best stories. It is always to so wonderful to hear about other people’s journey of life’s adventure, and if we get some great work done along the way -even better! “My godfather used to have a farm, and it was one of my favourite places to go. Somehow getting your hands in the soil, places your feet on the ground. And give me a familiar sense of home when I am travelling for work or exploring new adventures.”

We are on 5acres of bushland just outside of Mandurah. 10 minute drive from pristine beaches and Mandurah train line. We have pet goats, chooks, dogs and more. Lots of wildlife including a mob of Kangaroos, red tailed coxkatoos and kookaburras. Accomodation is a separate caravan with a double bed. We have a swimming pool, pool table, table tennis etc and lots to do during down time.

We joined WWOOF because we want to deepen our experience in organic farming, learn practical skills, and connect with people who share similar values. As we travel through Australia, we’re excited to learn from different hosts, expand our knowledge about sustainable living, and contribute with our hands and enthusiasm. For us, WWOOF is the perfect way to combine meaningful work, cultural exchange, and personal growth.

Note: 88 day 2nd year Visa flood recovery volunteer work offered. Minimum 3 week stay, with first week a trial to make sure you are enjoying the work and fit in. Summerleigh is a family farm in the Macedon Ranges. Jack and I are city escapees and regenerative farmers, inspired by the likes of Alan Savory, Joel Salatin and Charles Massey. Our goal is to improve the ecosystem and soils by integration of livestock, mainly cattle and chickens, to produce healthy, chemical free and nutrient dense food and we hope to soon add a small market garden to supplement our direct to market egg and beef business. We are also in the process of revegetating a sizable wildlife corridor and wetland habitat along the permanent creek in the valley below the homestead and hope to return the gardens around the homestead to their former glory, with an orchard and ornamental flower beds. Please note: work to be done along the creek qualifies as flood recovery and counts towards your 88-day visa renewal. In other words, whatever your passion is…horticulture, agriculture, tree planting, ecological restoration, rewilding, biodynamics, permaculture, holistic management, carpentry, fencing, welding, growing, producing and cooking food, rotational grazing, chicken caravans, we almost certainly have something for you to put your hands, enthusiasm and head to. The homestead is circa 1876 and she is quite a grand old lady, originally built by the Sir Rupert Clarke family for the first owner, John Hurst, esq., in exchange for land in what is now Clarkefield. You will be part of the family with your own room in the homestead and, between us, we speak/understand Italian, Spanish, French, German and Danish/Swedish/Norwegian. We have five dogs, two cats and two budgies, three Icelandic horses, a pony and a pig. Not all in the house!   We love to play tennis after dinner and also have pool that is, sadly, being renovated, so have swims in the waterhole on hot afternoons, a good way to cool off. If any of that sounds at all appealing please do get in touch Regards Lucy & Jack

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.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

On the one hand, my sister recommended it to me, and on the other hand, I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn a lot about Australia and life here. In addition, I am someone who likes to have a task, a meaningful activity, which is why I think the concept of working and traveling suits me well.

136 acres (55ha) of gorgeous hill country farm, surrounded by the Easter National Park. We farm Marron (freshwater crayfish), in 10ac (4ha) of dams. We are situated in the beautiful Southwest of Western Australia just south of Nannup & close to tourist destinations, including Margaret River (70km). We currently have 9 goats, goats Dolly Parton & Vincent van Goat in charge & new billy goat Leonardo attempting to take over. Also, there are rescue pigs Virginia Wolfe & Richard, who are tasked with soil aeration. Basically digging up paddocks & making a bloody mess, but are fun to have around. We have just added sheep to livestock mix, with 18 ewes, Roger Ram Jet the ram, (he is a bit old & lame, but seems to get the job none) & this year 20 new lambs. We have 3 chooks (chickens) for fresh eggs and Russel Crow III, the rooster. I have just purchased an egg incubator and must get cracking on hatcheting new chickens, as my girls are getting  bit old.

I would love to explore more of Australia during my school holidays, especially as I begin preparing to purchase my own piece of land and would like to know permaculture more closely. I feel really drawn to learning through experience, and being able to see how different people live and grow food on their land is extremely valuable to me. Members of my family in New Zealand have been WWOOF hosts, and I’ve loved meeting such a beautiful mix of people, with all kinds of upbringings, stories, and knowledge to share. More simply, I also feel called to spend more time in connection with nature and working in nature. There’s something deeply grounding and fulfilling about that style of physical exertion, especially when it’s tied to meaningful tasks like gardening, building, or caring for the land. It’s a rhythm I want to immerse myself in more intentionally as I move toward this next stage of my life.

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.

i need to finish my second year visa and love to explore new things! My mates had had a blast working as Woofers so I also wanted to give it a try! I am looking for a short stay oof 1-2 weeks.

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.

We joined WWOOF to gain hands-on experience and learn more about farm life while enjoying the outdoors. With our positive and open attitude, we love meeting new people, working together, and spending time with animals. We are excited to experience Australian culture, explore different ways of living, and contribute to a friendly and welcoming community.
