To see more of the world and meet new people while still doing the sort of work that I love. And after hearing so many great stories from other Wwoofers, it seemed like the perfect time to start!

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to give real meaning to my summer. I love traveling, discovering new places, and meeting people from different backgrounds, but this time, I wanted to experience something more authentic and human than simple tourism. Woofing seems to me like the perfect way to do that : learning, sharing, helping, all while being close to nature and animals. Having grown up in the countryside, I’ve always enjoyed working outdoors and being around animals. I practiced horse riding for ten years, and from that time I’ve kept a real appreciation for effort, respect for living beings, and the satisfaction of being useful. I like feeling involved in a tangible project, where my help can truly make a difference. For me, WWOOF is much more than just a trip, it’s an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, to discover a new culture, to learn new things, and and to connect with people. I see it as a deeply enriching experience, one that reflects my values of sharing, kindness, and open-mindedness.

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.

I hope that by living and interacting with you all, I can learn new values ​​and humanity and grow as a person.

I have a sister living in Hobart, and I'm planning on visiting her. As it's quite a journey to that side of earth, I figured I might as well make my travels worthwhile by turning it into a working holiday. She recommended WWOOF to me! As I've mentioned, I spent most of my time these past years living in a busy city, so I think some time out of the hustle and bustle is long overdue. Furthermore, I'm interested in learning more about sustainable food cultivation, permaculture, and off-grid living.

We run a small regenerative/biodynamic hobby farm in Perth Hills. Our main produce is, Bath Milk” and we consider ourselves a micro dairy. We have 5 milking cows, meat cows, sheep/lambs, chickens, bee hives and an orchard of 300 fruit trees! We live very simply, consciously and low-tox. We are seeking assistance with (not all but some) of the daily tasks including animal feeds, maintaining the orchard and possibly assisting with the dairy packaging.

I heard about this woofing experience in France from some of my host friends. And I loved the concept. It's a unique experience to live directly with the hosts but above all to be able to help the family with their daily chores. In fact, that's why I want to live this unique experience that makes sense but above all allows direct contact with nature.

Our place is a  small permaculture home garden and orchard,  in the township of Daylesford in Central Victoria.  We are only a few minutes walk from local Kangaroos, the Shopping Centre, Library,  Pubs, Cafes, Restaurants, Walking tracks,  and in summer, Outdoor Swimming Pool. You will have all afternoons and also 2 days off a week.    Learn about permaculture and gardening by the moon.  We really enjoy hosting WWOOFers, and hearing of their travels, and their home country. Our guest room has an en-suite bathroom. You  may like to attend the local Sunday Market.  There is TV and Wi-Fi. There is public transport several times a day - train with connecting bus from Southern Cross Station Melbourne.  Our home is a short walk,  5 blocks from Bus Stop. Stays of  of 1-2 weeks, or longer by agreement. We prefer a couple or 2- 3 friends  or families, who don't mind sharing one room. Work is for about 4 hours in the morning and may include compost making, building new garden beds, fencing, digging, weeding, pruning, mulching or landscaping. You  are welcome, if you are fully vaccinated, and are  non smokers/ non vapers.  Sewing or leatherworking skills would be great, but not essential, Check our  reviews     We would love to hear from you!

I thinks its a very good opportunity to visit Australia and learning about the locals. I also love animals and to do work outside the house. Im very interested about Australia, because it is such a beautiful place. Sadly, in my country Austria, i never had a farm or any animals, so im looking forward to see some Australian farms and to care about the animals. Meeting new people always brings me joy because im a very social and talkable person.

We joined WWOOF because we want to travel, meet people, and do something useful. We don’t have experience in farming yet, but we are very motivated to learn. We like to work outside, help others, and learn about sustainable living. We want to start soon, get experience, and see the world from a new point of view.

 

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.

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 want to get a farm job, So we need a staying place . And we want to learn and help a organic farming style. This WWOOF System is good for us. We believe the foods that were loved so much are delicious. We want to learn "how to grow delicious foods ?"and seek the delicious foods that we never eat.

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!

I enjoy being outdoors and want to learn more about it and how nature works - especially in Australia, where so much is new for me. That's why I want to try WOOFing. I'm also interested in cultural exchange. Although I grew up on a farm with cows, my knowledge about is rather basic. I'm really looking forward to expanding my knowledge of nature and farming.

Our 100ac farm is situated on Deep Creek in the Macedon Ranges, about 1 hour outside Melbourne. We run livestock and grow vegetables for our own use. Animals include cows, alpacas, sheep, chickens, dogs and a pig. There are two of us living on this property, entirely off the grid.

I joined the WWOOF because it offers a fantastic opportunity to engage with animals in a meaningful way. Through WWOOF, I can immerse myself in farm life, where I'll have the chance to interact closely with a variety of animals, from sheep and cows to chickens and pigs. By participating in the daily care routines and tasks on the farm, I can deepen my understanding of animal behavior, needs, and welfare. Additionally, WWOOF provides a platform for cultural exchange, allowing me to connect with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for environmental stewardship and organic living. Through this experience, I hope to gain valuable skills, broaden my perspective, and make a positive impact on the environment while exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Australia.
