Our goal is to learn as much about home steading, gardening, and animal care as possible, as our goal is to design and build our own self-sufficient home and gardens. We love travelling and both have a keen interest to explore Australia, meet new like-minded people and expand our knowledge and understanding about these topics.

We are keen to learn about living on a property as well as growing our own food and caring for livestock. We will be travelling around Australia and looking for some exciting learning experiences along the way!

We both like to be actively and productively engaged. It helps us to connect with locals and we get to see and do things that most travellers miss. We are also able to utilise a lifetime of experiences to bring mutual benefits to our hosts and ourselves.

Our property is a beautiful lifestyle property with animals, located just an hour’s drive from Sydney CBD. Set on a scenic and serene landscape, it’s home to a variety of animals, including horses, two German Shepherds, a cat, chickens, ducks, and ponies. The property feels like a mini zoo, full of life and charm, offering a unique and peaceful environment. While it feels like you’re in the middle of a tranquil forest, the property is only 49 kilometers from Sydney CBD, providing the perfect blend of rural serenity and easy access to city attractions. From the stunning sunsets to the open fireplace evenings, the property offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere ideal for enjoying nature and relaxation. Our property is more than just a place; it’s a retreat where animals and people coexist in harmony. It’s not a working farm but a private sanctuary designed for a relaxed and fulfilling lifestyle, where the sounds of nature and the laughter of children create a lively and inviting space.

Our farm is on a hill with lovely views about 5 minutes outside Yass, NSW; that is three hours south west of Sydney, 7 hours north east of Melbourne and 45 minutes north west of Canberra (the national capital). Yass is on the intersection of the highways between those three cities and on the railway between Sydney and Melbourne. We are a developing ‘whole’ farm - growing, cooking, bunching, drying and crafting with flowers, fruit and plants of all kinds, and taking bouquets and preserves to local markets and cafes. We follow organic and sustainable practices and are continually improving our soil and planting. We have developed a very attractive property, with beautiful house, gazebos, gardens and landscaped areas, intending to soon welcome the public for tours and workshops. We look forward to our WWOOFers being able to enjoy learning about our farm life and practices, and helping out while still having lots of free time. Beyond our place you can see livestock on neighbouring properties, kangaroos, the hills of the picturesque Yass River Valley and, in the distance, the Brindabella mountains that lead to the Snowy Mountains, while on our property you can meet our two gentle Maremma sheepdogs, two cats, Babydoll sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, watch all the wild birdlife and use our swimming pool in the warmer months. We work hard and there's a lot to do every day- but we tailor the place and hours of work to suit the weather and season. If it is going to be hot we might start very early and rest in middle of the day. If it rains, there are indoor tasks to complete. We can tailor the work to your special interests and competencies, give you lots of free time to relax and help you with sightseeing. We invite you to enjoy home-cooked meals with us (and cook a meal of your own!), have a laugh, and socialise with our family and friends. We hope to meet enthusiastic, responsible and mature WWOOFers, who enjoy country surroundings, who are keen to learn and help out, and are appreciative and respectful, just like we are. Send us a message with any questions, and an idea of when you’d like to stay. We normally like volunteers to stay for at least 2 weeks so they can enjoy a wide variety of activities  and after initial messages like to finalise plan by phone. We look forward to hearing from you!

We - Carola, Ross and eldest son Liam - live in the east Otways on 4 acres next to the Otways National Park. The beach and world famous Great Ocean Road is 25 min away by car and the next set of shops 15 min. The next larger town Geelong is 30 min and Melbourne 90 min by car. Endless bushwalk opportunities are right out the front gate.

I join WWOOF because I’d like to discover Australia by being in touch with Nature. Working in a farm seems to me a good way to make it. I like spendind time outside and work in nature, as I’ve already experienced last summer.

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 decided to join WWOOF because I wanted a deeper, more authentic connection to the world around me. Traveling has always inspired me, but I realized that simply visiting places wasn’t enough—I wanted to experience life from the perspective of the people who care for the land. WWOOF offered exactly that opportunity. By working on organic farms, I can learn practical skills, understand sustainable living, and contribute to something meaningful. I was also drawn to the idea of cultural exchange. Staying with hosts, sharing daily routines, and learning from their experiences allows me to form genuine relationships rather than staying on the surface. WWOOFing lets me step outside my comfort zone, grow personally, and live more intentionally. Ultimately, I joined WWOOF to learn, to connect, and to make a positive impact while exploring the world in a mindful and respectful way.

I was a Wwoofer when I first traveled around Australia during my time with WH. That time, I  just traveled around as a Wwoofer in Japan. I came back and registered again here in Australia to gain new experience in the country's lifestyle, such as self-sufficiency, organic farming, and accommodation management. I can use a wide range of power tools, including all gardening equipment and DIY tools. I can handle a variety of housekeeping tasks, including manual labor, assembly, creative work, DIY, cooking and cleaning.

We are located in the beautiful Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne, Australia.  The area is renowned for it's wineries and natural features such as Mt Donna Buang, waterfalls and the meandering Yarra River.  We run a wildlife shelter, caring for small numbers of native wildlife.  Predominantly kangaroos and possums.

My block is on a wild river, only 20km from Gordonvale on a sealed road, and 40km south of Cairns. On the other side of the river is Wooroonooran National Park, a World Heritage Rainforest, about the same area as the Daintree Rainforest. Being centrally located, the block is almost equidistant from Cairns/Babinda and the Tablelands. Life is subject to the elements, the mood of the river, sun and rainfall patterns. Wildlife abounds, and includes a large variety of bird and aquatic life, moths and butterflies (I breed Cairns Birdwings), insects, reptiles, several species of marsupials, and brumbies (wild horses). I do not have pets, as nature provides endless companionship and entertainment, for which I'm very grateful. UPDATE #3: Due to Tropical Cyclone Jasper on 13th December 2023, the bridge between our area and the nearest town was swept away - this was planned for repair in the dry season which didn't start until June 2024. We were traveling via boat/kayak across the river until February 10th 2024, when a footbridge was installed. The temporary road bridge was installed in late July 2024. Construction of a more permanent bridge began in May 2025, and is well underway. These events illustrate the occasional difficulties experienced in the Cyclone season (November to May each year). While half of my life was spent living and working in the Pacific, and the other half working in Renewable Energy in Australia, I love this connection to nature, and its wildlife. I also have adopted some of the extended family/community aspects of island cultures, which some people from western cultures find hard to adopt and understand. I have lived here for over 20 years, and grow a range of tropical fruit and vegetables for my own and friends consumption. Many years ago I planted a number of rainforest trees such as lemon myrtle (which makes a great tea), davidsons plum, lemon aspin, and evodia (which attracts the Ulysses butterfly). There is also a well established vine which hosts the caterpillar which becomes Australia's largest butterfly, the Cairns Birdwing. The house is entirely off-grid and is solar powered (I'm an electrical engineer who started in renewable energy in 1974), and I deal with my own water supply and waste treatment. Where possible I've reduced my usage of fossil fuels, so have no backup generator, and run an electric mower, electric sports motorcycle and occasionally, an electric chainsaw. My sports are almost all human or natural energy systems powered, and have been through my life. Two self contained, open plan, single bedroom houses are joined by a solar walkway. Both have verandah's with a view of the river. I sleep in the newer house, but use the kitchen/lounge in the older house, which has accomodation for WWOOFers in an adjoining bedroom. The older house also has the shared bathroom/ laundry attached to it, and has access to the original outside toilet. There is limited internet access via satellite, for email only, for an hour each evening, by prior negotiation with the host. Mobile reception is OK for SMS out on the road, but is patchy for voice. A landline is available for local calls, also by prior negotiation. Compared to an outer island in the Pacific, communication is very good - compared to a big city in most parts of the world, it is slower.

We’re traveling to Australia while taking a winter break from our own organic farm in Sweden. We want to combine meaningful work with the joy of exploring your country and connecting with nature. Through WWOOF, we hope to meet like-minded people who share our values around sustainable living and organic farming. We’re excited to exchange knowledge, learn new skills, and experience Australian farm life. We’re also seeking inspiration for opening our own ecotourism project and welcoming future WWOOFers to our farm.

Our Place:  We (Jane and Aaron) are hosting a tiny experience from Australian miniature goats, miniature donkeys, miniature ponies (Pepper and Spice) and Aussie White sheep. The hobby farm is situated at Copping, SE coast of Tasmania en route to Port Arthur and 20 minutes from rural town, Sorell.  5 minutes from our place is beautiful beach Marion Bay beach. The property is a mix of pasture, trees and small vegie gardens. There is a tiny home that is used as an Airbnb and a family friendly cottage that we are renovating at present. The farm has 1 friendly border collie. What we offer and what is involved:  We would like to share our time and your time spending with the animals and helping to keep the farm maintained so the animals have the best home possible. This involves brushing the animals, (more like a scratch) hanging out with the animals to aid in human contact, feeding, manure picking up, gardening, pasture management, weeding and general odd jobs. If your a competent horse rider this would be an advantage. Accommodation:  There is a fully equipped bus (shower +toilet+ oven+sink+ queen bed), modern design, dry and tidy.   Plenty of storage and your own garden if your stay is long term.  

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 want to do WWOOFing in Australia because I’m looking for an authentic experience that allows me to learn, help, and connect with people in a meaningful way. Australia has always inspired me with its nature, its wildlife, and its diverse landscapes, and I want to discover this country from the inside, not just as a tourist. WWOOFing is the perfect opportunity for me to learn new skills, especially in sustainable living, farming, and animal care. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve always loved working outdoors and being useful, so contributing to a farm or ecological project feels natural to me. I also want to share moments with hosts and other volunteers, exchange cultures, and build connections. Helping others while learning about myself and the world is exactly what I’m looking for. This experience would allow me to grow personally, develop my independence, and fully embrace a new adventure.

I joined WWOOF because I want to live a genuine experience, far from traditional tourism. I believe the best way to understand a country is by sharing daily life with the people who live there. I’m looking to learn, exchange, help, and experience a simpler lifestyle connected to nature. WWOOFing is also a great opportunity for me to improve my English while discovering Australian culture from the inside. I want something real, human, and meaningful—based on sharing, trust, and working together.

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.

Through WWOOF I hope to meet people with similar dreams and interests. I hope to be able to learn and listen aswell as share my views & things I know. I am so happy to be able to travel to Australia, it would be wonderfull to explore the australian nature and culture.
