I joined WWOOF because I love nature and want to experience farm life in Australia. I want to learn many new things, meet kind people, and help with daily work. I believe this experience will make me grow and understand Australian life better.

I would like to discover as part of my trip to Australia the different cultures, be immersed with the people of the country and help them in their activities. The Wwoofing offers me the opportunity to participate in physical work, activities on farms, be in nature or take care of animals. Indeed, I love physical work and enjoy nature and its benefits. I have the exchange value that the woofing offers. In my personal life with my surroundings, we serve each other with confidence. For example, I kept the house of the mother of a sick friend during 9 months during 2024, so that the house remained occupied, secured and maintained, I stayed free of charge in this house. while waiting for the house to be renovated and rented. Moreover, It is a real opportunity to learn more about Australia and its people as well as to make new acquaintances.

50 Acres on the Orara river with stone and timber house. Guesthouse, dance floor and composting toilets. Off grid solar, own water supply and peaceful quiet property only 30 minutes from town.

I am an artist and live in a large suburban home on the corner of a main road. There are 4 people living here at the moment (2 tenants, my adult son and myself). I work as a freelance artist with ongoing deadlines, and also spend every evening with my 101 year old mother (who lives across the road in an Aged Care facility).  With all this, I am very time-poor, and most meals are seperate due to my unconventional hours. But I am very happy for you to cook or join me when I’m having a meal 🙂 You need to be able to work unsupervised and have an open mind, and be prepared for a different experience as it is not the typical wwoofing framework. Volunteering includes help with vegetable garden (weeding, composting, planting, mulching, watering plants) and general gardening, odd jobs around the house and help with various art projects. Also, on nice days I would appreciate if you could sometimes take my mother out into the sunshine). Accommodation is for 1 or 2 people in guest room or cosy converted garage. Mixed diet. The work hours =  4 hours a day (with flexibility), with one or two days off a week. After working you are very welcome to spend time exploring the city which is a half an hour train ride. There is a local pool, cafés and shopping centres nearby. Life in our household is calm and relaxed and suits those who enjoy peace and quiet. 10 minute walk to train station and 25 min train ride to city. Cannot take WWOOFers from May - October.

Aside from the fact that I love digging in the dirt, I would love to get some hands on experience in farming, gardening, and caring for animals so that I can one day have my own farm to share all of these things I've learned with others.

We have done great woofing experience in new Zealand and we would like to have new ones in Australia to discover new way of living, sharing with people and discovering great places

Red Hill - these were the early years of the wine industry in a region full of export quality apple orchards. Cool climate, slow ripening late season fruit was the impetus for producing this region's Method Champenoise in 1990 and a second example in 1992. Late disgorging, is financially difficult - especially during the Keating years when overdrafts attracted 18pc interest. Much hard work & some difficult decisions, enabled one to weather that economic storm. Now on the NW coast of Tasmania sits a 5acre property. The soil is a rich, fertile, naturally deep of a brown to red colour. While beef cattle & sheep(meat) are grazed extensively, dairy cattle are also prominent.We have one, just a km away. Its milk goes to Cadbury. My house has a tank to collect rain. 16 solar panels are on the roof. A bore provides year round, potable water, for irrigation of a Mediteranian vegetable garden. A small established orchard provides apples, pears, lemons, red grapes, Quince, kiwifruit & white peaches. So come experience spring & summer in ELLIOTT. Yes Real caffe. No smokers please. Children by arrangement

I have joined WWOOF because I want to meet new people during my travels and help out where ever I can. Sustainability and nature is important to me, and so WWOOF is a perfect site for me!

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 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.

In many of our travels, we've been inspired by people who build their homes off-grid, sustain themselves with food they grew, and make their communities more loving and resilient. Eventually we'd like to do the same. Wildland fire is a cool job in many ways, but it's taxing on the spirit (we work more hours in 6 months than many do all year). So, while we save up for land of our own, we plan to enjoy the biggest perk of our job: 6 months off to travel and learn. We hope to connect with organic farmers and learn what it takes, exchange stories, make friends, and maybe make some art too. Lots of other firefighters recommended WWOOF, so here we are.

I'm joining the WWOOF program as part of my adventure in Australia because I want to make my time here meaningful. I'm not only looking to explore this beautiful country, but also to give back by contributing my energy and enthusiasm to farms, gardenings and communities along the way. I see WWOOFing as a chance to learn new skills, embrace different ways of living, and deepen my understanding of sustainable practices. I will do my best to support the hosts and learn a lot of things. I am looking forward to living in Australia.

My family and I (4 grown up daughters and their partners) are creating a cafe/restaurant and child care centre on an 11 acre property on outskirts of Perth metro area. The property is 8km from Cockburn train station and 25 minutes drive from Perth city. Whilst My children will be running the businesses, my interest lies in farming the surrounding land based on organic/permaculture principles, with food forests, organic vegetable growing area and small animals to teach children about caring for animals and how to grow food. The organic food and pasture-fed eggs we grow will go to the restaurant to be a part of the menu. My wife is heavily involved in climate change action groups and that’s how she makes her contribution to the future of the planet. Whilst we have the same goals, I am more comfortable helping people learn about putting carbon back into the soil and enjoying the benefits of healthy food at the same time. We hope to have day courses when we are established to teach people about permaculture. There is a lot of local interest in the project. We would love you to become involved and feel the satisfaction of seeing it evolve. We have accommodation available in a small caravan for 2 people, plus a renovated sea container for 2 people All food and lodging is included. You will need to do your own cooking and sometimes share food with other Woofers For more info go to ‘11 acre farm’ on Instagram to see the progress we are making.

It's more trust in a organize. And the aim of WWOOF is quite matching mine.

I’m currently in TAS with no real plan… I think the purest way to experience a place is to live like the locals. I have a bit of savings saved up so I’m not in any real rush to make money - I wanted to take this opportunity while I’m young and without responsibilities to create experiences & participate in as many things of interest as possible. I’ve fallen in love with this place & it’s only been 3 days since I boarded from the ferry. I would love nothing more then to give back in some way, & me offering my time is the way I feel would be the most beneficial to everyone involved. I’m a very curious, enthusiastic person & I love to try my hand at anything I can - growing up I got some time on farms with my Aunty owning a cattle farm & my dad having some property that enabled us to have some pretty cool pets (chickens, sheep, horses & an alpaca). It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten to be amongst this kind of lifestyle & I miss it immensely.
