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!

Located in Macclesfield, Vic, Royal Meadows Farm is conveniently located between the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley and is surrounded by rolling hills, farms and natural bushland. An easy and scenic drive to delightful towns such as Olinda, Sassafras, Gembrook, Yarra Glen, Warburton and Healesville, Royal Meadows is the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of Victoria. The main activity on our 20 acre farm is the Royal Meadows Equestrian Centre where we agist and train horses. The horses are managed according to equi-central and land regenerative principles. We grow our own hay for the horses and all manure is composted and used either in the veggie gardens or spread on the fields to help replenish the soil. In addition to the horses we also run a number other farming activities – namely breeding a small flock of Suffolk sheep, growing a small orchard, vegetable gardens and raising bees. Careful management of cross grazing different livestock means deep-rooted, healthy pastures, which also leads to rich organic material for gardens and trees. Royal Meadows is built on principles of sustainable living, regenerative agriculture, self-sufficiency and equi-centric horse training. The property is powered by off-grid solar electricity and sustained with the help of captured rainwater. Bush areas have been reserved for native wildlife and as such Kookaburras, rosellas, blue wrens and cockatoos are common and the property is also home to wombats. Don’t be surprised if you also see kangaroos, soaring wedge tailed eagles and the occasional echidna. The accommodation consists of a cosy two-room wing of the house which has both private and shared entrances, a bedroom, private bathroom and lounge area with small kitchenette.

I joined wwoofing as I have experienced it a few years back in both Canada and Japan. I found the experiences worth while and meaningful. The concept is very pure and important, giving people the opportunity to return to country, return to nature, return to the roots of health and be able to connect to land and gain a new perspective. A perspective that I believe is often a healing experience and a time to expand critical thought.

Small rural property located in bush between town & beach. Alternative building, renovating solar powered, organic veggie & fruit growing & social/community activities all happen nearby. We run a Sustainability Consultancy business from our property, swimming, surfing, farmers markets, yoga, bushwalking all available nearby. You are welcome to join us in social & recreational activities. Accommodation for 2 people in studio or caravan in the bush, use of camp kitchen & shared meals. Mixed diet. No WiFi, phone reception is poor on the property, Telstra mobile booster in main house. Children b.a. No smoking. Prefer stays of 1 week, longer stays negotiable.

I’m joining WWOOFing because I want to connect with people on a meaningful level, learn more about the Australian lifestyle, and experience everyday life in a different setting. I’m curious to understand how others live, work, and see the world. For me, WWOOFing is a great way to exchange ideas, learn new skills, and contribute in a hands-on way. I’m excited to be part of daily routines, help where I can, and share stories along the way. It’s not just about traveling—it’s about building connections and learning from others through real-life experiences.

We run a horse business and are located on 150 acres. We have horses, donkeys, poultry and sheep. We grow organic vegetables and fruit tree plantation.

My interest in WWOOFing is in part connected to my family background. When I was growing up, for around 10 years my family would make a ritual trip to Victoria to look after my aunt and uncle's farm (a property that also hosted WWOOFers periodically). My interest in sustainable farming practices probably began there, and latterly has become something I'm keen to know more about. With my plan to spend several months travelling interstate, help exchange/farm stay work seems to be a great way of getting to know new people, and provides a means to experience destinations for longer. I'm a diligent worker (not afraid of manure), receptive to learning new skills and I look forward to exploring new places.

We joined WWOOFing Australia because we want to dive deeper into the country’s nature, wildlife, and everyday way of life. Both of us are passionate about animals, birds, and local ecosystems, and WWOOFing feels like the perfect way to learn more about the Australian fauna and flora while helping people who live close to nature. We also love speaking English and want to improve even more by meeting locals, sharing conversations, and understanding how Australians live, work, and think. For us, WWOOFing is a chance to connect with hosts, discover their projects, and learn new skills in a more authentic environment. We’re excited to explore different regions at a slower pace and be part of meaningful projects!

I wish to spend my time off taking care of animals and houses land and garden as it does make more sense to me to rest while sharing my time with furry friends and helping people around me. I don’t know Tasmania but I am very attracted to it, specially the climate (give me a break from the hot humid northern weather) and because my workmate/ friend lives in Stanley and it would be a good opportunity to visit him. I prefer spend my time with local people than give my money to an hotel

I want to join WWOOF to discover Australia through meaningful volunteering. Environmental issues matter to me, and helping communities after disasters aligns with my work in environment and climate in France.

We want to learn about permaculture and organic farming. We want also improve our english and meet new people for open our mind. We would like to open our organic farm in Italy in the next future.

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 would like to join WWOOF in Australia because I am very interested in learning about Australian agriculture and sustainable farming practices. I believe that by working directly on farms, I can gain hands-on experience and deepen my understanding of the land, crops, and lifestyle in rural Australia. Another reason is that I would like to stay in Australia for a longer period of time and travel around different regions. WWOOF offers a unique opportunity to explore many areas while being part of local communities, rather than just being a tourist. Finally, I am eager to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. I believe cultural exchange is one of the most valuable experiences in life, and I would love to share my own culture while learning from hosts and fellow WWOOFers. I am excited to contribute, learn, and grow through this program.

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).

I like to work in rural areas and with nature. I like to develop something outside. Also I want to learn more about the outside work and develop new skills and passions.

I joined WWOOF, because it is a great combination of getting to know people and learning. I've known about the organisation for years and have been a WWOOFer before, when I was travelling around New Zealand. As mentioned before, there are a lot of plants surrounding me back home in Germany. However, while my house plants especially are doing rather well, I couldn't claim that I know much about what I am doing. That is even more true for the outdoor plants in our garden. So naturally, I'd love to learn more about keeping plants alive and growing food organically. WWOOF seems like the optimal place to do that, because my hosts can share their experience with me and I can learn new skills by doing. Furthermore, it gives me an opportunity to meet new people, which I otherwise likely would not meet; hostels feel like half of their occupants are my compatriots which isn't bad per se, but I do not have to fly all the way to Australia for meeting them.

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.
