I registered on this site after hearing about the experience of one of my seniors who went to Australia using this site. I thought about going on a working holiday, but I decided to use this application because I wanted to be directly involved in agriculture.

We live on 125 acres in the Yarra Valley- mostly bush for wildlife. We have a reasonable size garden around the house and large edible organic garden, that we use for our own personal use, throughout the year. I am a registered Wildlife Shelter and currently care for 12 larger wombats and support others after soft release, on our property. We are in a bushfire area and are always working to keep our place as safe as possible.

I wanted to experience life in Australia. I love agriculture and nature, so I wanted to experience it firsthand. I wanted to spend time that I couldn't experience on a trip and broaden my future life options.

I’ve been interested in farming for a long time because my grandparents used to run a farm. When I was a child, I often helped them out with my cousins, and those moments became some of my most treasured childhood memories. Ever since I decided to go on a working holiday in Australia, WWOOFing has been one of my goals. There are three main reasons why I want to join: 1. I want to experience real farm life and reconnect with those childhood memories. 2. I’m eager to learn new skills and contribute through physical work—I find meaning in working with my hands. 3. I believe staying with local hosts will help me understand a new culture more deeply. Also, I hope to meet the requirements for a second working holiday visa by working for at least three months !

We are close to the ocean and beaches, we have some wonderful State and National Parks, natural reserves and bushland nearby. We live on 13 ac on the edge of the township of Koroit Victoria Australia, we have chickens, 2 whippet dogs, a cat and 7 horses. We have a spare bedroom and separate bathroom, WiFi, and we share the kitchen.

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.

We live 45 km from Perth, 20mn walking distance from the Chidlow Post Office,the bus stop, forests & lake Leschenaultia. In the last 20 + years, we have  developed our hobby farm: built a solar-passive straw-bale home, established an extensive garden  as well as grown three children, home-schooled with the help of WWOOFers!!! They are now young adults, two of which still live at home. With our daughters, we grow vegetables, flowers, herbs & fruit trees. We have 3 cows and a calf, 6 goats, 2 sheep, lots of chickens, an old pony, 4 bee hives & lots of visiting birds. Work includes general hobby-farming activities such as gardening, and maintenance jobs, with occasionally some more skillful work such as rock wall building, shelter building or else, checking bees/ extracting honey etc... Accommodation is in annex for 1 – 2 non-smoking WWOOFers. We cook only vegetarian meals, mostly organic, shared with the family, although we can accommodate vegan and gluten free diets. We also speak French at home, we love playing traditional folk music, classical or old 60's songs, singing, bush-walking, we're also interested in art & craft, travel, health, spirituality and philosophy, fun, and good food. Most hot days, we'll end at the lake for a cool down swim!

I see WWOOFing as a chance to learn hands-on skills, connect with people who share a love for the land, and experience simple living with purpose. I’m curious, reliable, and eager to help wherever I can — whether that’s gardening, caring for animals, cooking, or lending a hand with community projects. Back in home and prior to moving to a city, I grow up in a rural small town where my grandparents have a farm I go to every weekend and so I'm excited to use my holiday breaks to be immersed in nature, learn new farm/life skills, help on farm projects and meet new people/lifelong friends!

Wurrabinya is home to Ian, Harly, Mac (b 2014), Mia (b 2015), Pooch, our kelpie kid (pet dog), a pair of budgies, several chooks and assorted wildlife and occasionally Nina (b2004). We have a 1/4 hectare block about 30 mins from the CBD, in the lovely Adelaide Hills, where we run chickens and have a range of fruit and nut, and native trees which primarily feed the local lorikeets, rosellas and cockatoos. Volunteering tasks for WWOOFers: Equates to 25 hours a week for full food and board and includes weed control, garden maintenance and chicken care. Accommodation: is in our house and we eat together. Ian works full time in town and Harly works part time and is busy with Mac & Mia, so an ability to work by yourself is a bonus. Very happy to host two friends and /or partners. Harly prefers women WWOOFers or a couple.

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.

Small cottage with all amenities - I'm looking for someone to help me renovate this one. 20hrs of unpaid labor in exchange for board and one meal a day, plus some paid hours.

Come to Kongwak, the 'Valley of Peace', where over the last 20 years I have created a thriving permaculture garden on less than 2 acres, which provides our family and local community with fresh, organic produce and plants. I have also set up a small nursery In our little town, where we propagate and sell a range of native, indigenous, permaculture and edible plants and produce. The nursery is based at the popular Kongwak Market, where I have also established a community garden called the Secret Garden, where I run regular workshops about permaculture, composting, medicinal plants etc. Kongwak is a beautiful little village in the heart of South Gippsland, only 15mins from Korumburra, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and lovely beaches. We are about half an hour to Phiilip Island and one & a half hours to the magnificent Wilson's Promontory. We can provide accommodation to singles, couples or small groups of friends. We currently have a small dog & some chickens. Short and long term stays welcome!

PLEASE CALL ONLY - DO NOT send Emails. I have 6 very pretty acres with a stream running from front to back, with lots of trees. I raise my own sheep, poultry, pigeons & veggies for the table. You can fish for Trout & Red Fin 200 meters from my front door. Wildlife includes platypus, wallabies, lyrebirds with pockets of rainforest still abound. Volunteering includes helping with property maintenance, tree/shrub planting, gardening, etc. An extra pair of hands is always welcome. Can sign for 2nd & 3rd year visas for bushfire recovery help. Accommodation for 1 person in my home or BYO. Mixed meals. Non-smokers only. I am easy-going & flexible and enjoy the cultural exchange.

3.5 acre property being set up to run along permaculture principles. We have been here since 2018 and have spent 7 years establishing an orchard with a variety of fruit and nut trees suited to the subtropics. Currently we grow herbs and vegetables for personal consumption and have some poultry (ducks and chickens) for eggs and to assist with pest and weed control. We have a small flock of sheep in the back paddock to control the pasture that backs onto wildlife habitat down near the dam which is stocked with fish and visited by local wildlife (kangaroos, spoonbills, ibis, herons, native ducks and marsh frogs).

joined WWOOF because | want to experience real Australian life, connect with locals, and learn more about organic farming and sustainable living. For me, WWOOFing is not only about working - it's about sharing, learning, and growing through authentic human connections. I hope to contribute my energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm while discovering beautiful places and new ways of living close to nature

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!

I would like to join WOOF Australia to enjoy a rewarding human experience based on exchange, learning and discovery. This adventure represents an opportunity for me to step outside my comfort zone, actively contribute to local projects, and develop practical and interpersonal skills in a completely different environment. It is a way to combine travel, work and sharing, while remaining true to my values of commitment, curiosity and open-mindedness.

After working in Australia for over a month, I realized this wasn't the way I wanted to experience Australia. My original purpose was to see the world and improve my English. My main goal wasn't to earn money, until a fellow traveler told me about volunteering. So I decided to apply and see, even though I don't have much time left. I hope to truly experience the Australian way of life before leaving. Thank you.
