Why Wwoof Australia? Because we have a friend who gained experience on this site and strongly recommended it to us. We want to do the same because we are arriving in Brisbane, Australia on 16 November with a working holiday visa. My friend and I agree that we want to have this human experience with Australians, which is why we are choosing farms in particular and not hostels like most backpackers do. It has opened our mind and we can't wait to be with you in this beautiful country.  

Welcome to our farm! A 34-acre family farm nestled in the beautiful Adelaide Hills near Clarendon, South Australia. We’re a fun-loving, social family who love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. On our property, we care for sheep, chickens, goats and tend to a growing orchard of fruit trees.

  ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OR VAPEING ON THE PROPERTY. I prefer to breathe clean air. Read again so you are sure. PLEASE DO NOT BRING PERFUMED PRODUCTS [SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER ,BODY WASH , SOAP ,SUNSCREEN] I can supply an alternative. I have become highly sensative to "perfumed products" .People have not been getting the first message on my profile so PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY BODY OR HAIR CLEANING PRODUCTS. I WILL SUPPLY THEM FOR YOU.    If there is someone interested in a long term place to live and learn about organic farming, I am open to that. There are areas of usable land that I'm not really able to keep up with, so they could be yours for growing"whatever" to make some income.  Please read section 7 of the guidelines for Wwoofers and understand it. Hi All you lovely WWOOFers. I'm especially looking for some long term people if they are around. I've been very fortunate to live in this beautiful part of Tasmania for 30 years and just love being able to share it with people from all over the world. There is 19 ha of farm to care for [some bush, pastures and extensive fruit and vegetable gardens]. Then there's millions of ha of stunning mountain and alpine wilderness to explore right behind the farm. Please come and enjoy life for a while. I prefer people to stay at least  one month and have a genuine interest in learning about sustainable farming and living.

We own a 90 acre Certified Organic property, 2 kms from the Murray River and 5 kms from Waikerie. We grow a small vegetable/fruit garden. We breed goats, some chickens and a little dog, Gemma. Chores vary seasonally: picking, weeding, feeding animals, restoring cars & old tractors. Accomodation either in our home or self contained flat. Children b.a. Meals with family, plenty of good food. We take our WWOOFers on a nocturnal safari to see kangaroos, emus, foxes, rabbits, owls & quail. See scorpions, Red-back spiders & lizards, etc. Also kayaking on the river. Star gazing, ride the quad motorbike, drive the tractor, go fishing, swimming or play pool. No smoking inside. Daily bus service from Adelaide & interstate to Waikerie. Here is a story written by a wonderful French WWOOFer Lény Gourven who visited us in 2013, we still keep in touch! WWOOFers Shay and Dean visited and made a video series about their WWOOFing journey around Australia. Here is the episode on our farm 🙂

We're a small family living on a 3-acre homestead property on the rural NW coast of Tasmania. We produce a portion of our own food throughout the year from our orchard, berry patch, hothouse, vegetable garden and chickens. Our property can offer a good general exposure to a wide variety of regenerative, sustainable and resilient practices. We welcome short and long stays.

I am very interested in learning about how our food is grown, I love to meet new people, and living in a new place for a little bit is exciting and full of opportunities! I would love to take the knowledge and wisdom that the hosts have to offer and apply it to my own farm/homestead in the future where there will hopefully be lots of animals and lots of veggie patches 🙂

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 that beloved crops are delicious. We want to learn "how to grow delicious foods ?"and seek the delicious foods that we never eat.

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 want to explore Australia and meet new people along the way. Getting out of the city and having new experiences. This seems like a great way to do this and give back in a kind and mutually beneficial way.

I decided to join WWOOFing because I truly believe it’s one of the best and most meaningful ways to get involved, learn new things, and experience life from a different angle — especially when it comes to farming and ecology. For me, it’s the most effective and genuine way to gain insight into how people work with nature and live sustainably. I’m more than happy to work and contribute in exchange for the chance to learn directly from those who have real experience and knowledge in this field. I also really like the spirit behind the whole concept — it carries a kind of optimism and humanity that I find inspiring. Maybe that sounds a little sentimental, but to me, it represents something real and hopeful: people helping each other, sharing skills, and connecting through meaningful work. Another reason is that I want to balance my academic life with practical experience. While my studies in English and Philosophy teach me a lot about ideas and perspectives, WWOOFing gives me the chance to learn from life itself — from the source, so to speak. I think it would be difficult to gain that kind of knowledge in any other way. My stay in Australia is something I expect to be deeply meaningful — not just for my career, but for my personal growth as well. I don’t want to just walk the well-trodden paths or experience the country as a tourist. I want to do something different, something a bit unusual, and hopefully make a small, positive difference — however small it may be.

To take part in an exchange of my labour for cultural and technical learning. I enjoy gardening and working outdoors. To make my extended holiday less mundane. Maybe to help me be less afraid of coming across snakes and spiders in Australia.

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!

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to step outside of my familiar surroundings in Germany and truly immerse myself in a different culture. Traveling can sometimes feel distant or superficial, but WWOOF offers the chance to live and work alongside locals, which to me feels much more authentic and meaningful. A friend recommended the program, and the more I learned about it, the more I felt it aligned with what I was looking for. I’m especially drawn to eco-friendly farming and sustainable lifestyles. Instead of a commercial or tourist-oriented experience, I hope to contribute to something more grounded: working with the land, learning practical skills, and being part of daily life. I see WWOOFing as not just a way to travel, but also as a way to grow personally, gain new perspectives, and connect with people who value community and the environment.

I want to spend some time doing honest, hands-on work and pick up new skills along the way.

WWOOFing felt like the perfect way to connect with local communities, learn about sustainable practices, and contribute meaningfully while meeting new people. We’re passionate about animal care and love lending a hand whether it’s with daily farm tasks, caring for animals, or enjoying a good chat over tea.

We have a 600 acre property with a selection of animals and activities. We also contract work on two other properties. We are one hour North of Melbourne. We have a range of accommodation services. We also involved in forestry and firewood.

Our experience and backrounds give us a general picture about work and responsability. We know that your house is not a hostel and it's the reason why we try wwoofing. We aim to learn something new, help you, visit new places, meet people and be a part of a daily life. We believe to be sociable and enthusiastic as individuals and couple as well. PS: If you want to know anything more, don' t hesitate to contact us! (Yes, it´s the same you can read in section About us. We think it´s the best summary about us)
