I decided to join WWOOF because I wanted an experience that goes beyond regular travel. I’ve always been drawn to nature, sustainable living, and learning practical skills that I can’t get from a classroom. WWOOF gives me the chance to connect directly with local people, understand their way of life, and contribute to something meaningful while I travel. Another reason is personal growth. I want to challenge myself, become more independent, and step outside my comfort zone. Working on a farm, living with a host family, and adapting to a new environment will help me develop responsibility, resilience, and confidence. I also hope to build real connections with people from different cultures. WWOOF feels like the perfect opportunity to learn, help, and grow while experiencing a more authentic side of Australia. I believe this journey will shape me in a positive way and inspire me for the future.

I joined WWOOF because I’ve had friends that have done it and seems like a great way to meet new people and learn some new skills in the process. I’ve stayed in Sydney for the past few weeks and am now looking to explore the wilderness that Australia has to offer

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).

When traveling I like to get out of the city as fast as possible and start exploring the culture. I believe that wwoofing is a great way to see the real Australian culture and also to gain interesting experiences

We joined the Wwoofing app to live an authentic experience in Australia, learn new things, and meet local people. We love the idea of exchanging our time and energy for sharing, learning, and simple moments. For us, it’s a beautiful way to discover the country differently, take part in meaningful projects, and get closer to nature.

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.

I hope to find places where I can meet like-minded people and learn and experience about a lifestyle in connection to nature. I like to work in the farm and wake up with singing birds (not traffic) around.

I joined WWOOF to gain new life experiences. I would love to learn about Australian farm work as well as meeting local people. I enjoy getting to know different ways of living and new cultures.

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.

Nestled in tall timber country in the south west of Western Australia, From Little Acorns Flower Farm is a 26.5 acre property which is home to a cut flower farm, large apiary and chicken farm. Our property is surrounded by state forest so we have wildlife that comes on farm if you are interested in seeing kangaroos, possums and other native wildlife up close.

HELLO! We are a non-profit eco farm situated on over 550 acres in Australia’s picturesque Hunter Valley, renowned for its vineyards and natural beauty. Our focus is to care for our environment and to give shelter and protection to our 60 cows and various other animals and birds for the natural duration of their lives. We practice organic farming and mindful sustainable living. Our community consists of dedicated Krishna devotees who are excited to be building something meaningful while cultivating a happy, meditative, spiritual lifestyle. We would love you to be part of our community for a little or a long while. Our farm is based on the teachings of bhakti yoga (the yoga of divine love), part of an ancient Indian spiritual philosophy, which emphasizes selfless service and respect for Mother Earth and all species of life. We practice love and non-violent behaviour to all.  

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.

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.

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.

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

I am passionate about sustainability and very much enjoy gardening, different projects and taking care of animals. I would love to one day have my own fruit/ vegetable garden and see WWOOF as an opportunity to learn more about what that would entail.
