As my mother visited Japan while I was studying PhD there, she was impressed by the advanced agriculture with flourished rice harvests, premium fruits like shine muscat, and high-quality meats and seafoods. Given the fact that the agriculture in Vietnam has been ovelooked and neglected for decades because of the industrialization trend across the country, from the perspective of a Vet like my mother, it is not straightforward to get the field back on track.   Furthermore, when returning to Vietnam after my PhD, it is a big surprise to me that many agri-food imported from Australia is available in the market such as grapes, oranges, milk, etc., which would have been unrealistic before the pandemic. Additionally, as working in an outskirt hospital, I usually encounter many patients from low-income households who work as farmers. Their chief complaints are neck pain, back pain, and hand/knee pain as a results of spondylosis and osteoarthritis.   While traveling with my mother will be a joyful and adventurous trip for us, I also want to explore more not only the advancement in healthcare but also the beauty of nature and the development of the agriculture in Australia. I hope those valuable experiences will bring me an innovative insight into the way of taking care of people and environment around us.

I thought agriculture is important in the future, because I learned agriculture in high school.So I want to learn agriculture in Australia.I want to know lifestyle, mature and people in Australia.I want to expand my horizons.

Two 5 acres freehold properties within a large multiple occupancy community on Sunrise Farm, WTree in far East Gippsland. Loads of wildlife, serenity and nature and a beautiful community that is also home to SIBA Tibetan Buddhist Retreat.

We are Pepe and Feo and we would like to use our time here in Australia to connect with new people and collect new ideas and knowledge. It’s also important for us to learn new skills, as we don’t know what kind of jobs we want to fulfill in the future. Wwoofing would be the best chance to achieve all these things.

Strathbogie Estate is small vineyard and we are setting up a garden based on Permaculture principles. Strathbogie Estate titleholders Bruno and Karin’s aim, is to create a haven to not only enjoy for themselves but to share with the surrounding and greater community. Using their very own single vineyard, brother (Bruno) and sister (Karin) manage the end to end development and trade of their finest harvest. As Bruno focuses on the marketing and trade of the wine, Karin lives and works on the property producing a distinctive, organic foundation. Keeping the same winemakers since the establishment of the vineyard, Bruno and Karin understand the importance of experience and expertise in delivering an outstanding product. Through environmentally sound and sustainable practices the vineyard remains in balance with nature. Strathbogie Estate is committed to growing healthy and beautiful tasting grapes that produce exceptional wine. We optimise the potential of terroir expression in the wine by ensuring every vine is hand pruned and grapes hand-picked. Due to its tendency to rupture the grape berry, machine harvesting is regarded as unkind on vines. Once a breach of the grape has occurred the skin phenolics leach into the juice. As a result, a loss of delicacy in the flavour occurs. This particularly recognized in the more delicate wines.

We live on a beautifully regenerated 40-acre bushland property, with small hills, two dams, and a spring-fed creek running through it. We are completely off-grid, relying on solar power and rainwater for our daily needs. Our vegetable garden is irrigated with water pumped from one of the dams.My husband is a film director, and I am a visual artist as well as a language teacher. We share our home with Woofa, our beautiful, gentle, and well-trained four-year-old blue Collie. Both of us are vegetarians, and we are working to grow as many leafy greens as possible. There are two separate studios on the property, each furnished with a wood fireplace, offering comfortable and private accommodation for guests away from the main house.

Having lived in a fast-paced city like Seoul, I’ve always longed for a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature. I believe that working on a farm, living sustainably, and being part of a community that values the earth is an experience that will enrich my life in ways I can’t yet imagine. I also see WWOOF as a chance to challenge myself—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I want to step away from the comforts of city life, learn to work with my hands, and experience a lifestyle that is deeply rooted in nature and simplicity. Beyond the work itself, I’m excited about the people I’ll meet along the way. I believe that every place has its own rhythm, and every person has a story to tell. I hope to learn not only about organic farming but also about different perspectives, ways of life, and the kind of wisdom that comes from living close to the land.

I've already been to Australia as an au pair when I was young and I would really like to go back to live with locals, because I have a beautiful memory of it. I've already done WWOOF volunteer in New Zeland and I really like it and that is why I would still like to have the opportunity to live a new experience with Australian hosts.

I join WWOOF to facilitate contact with people who have the same point of view about sharing experiences and human contact. I hope to find some great projects to help achieving, while learning some interesting skills and making friends abroad!

In the search for new skills I am especially drawn but not restricted  to Community-sufficiency, Syntropic Agroforestry and food forests in general, Deep Ecology, Permaculture, Irrigation systems, Living Design process and the lists never ends as I am still in the process of gathering as much information to later on carve it out in the shapes of knowledge and wisdom applied to my own context . I have been living in Australia for last 7 years where I have had multiple jobs and household arrangement with lots of skills acquired and transferable to the WWOOF community ethics. I am now jumping into a more hands-on experience after having spent the last 2-3 years in the theoretical realm of books and courses in the above-mentioned topics. To sum up, my goal is to gather as much information, knowledge and wisdom as I can for the next 6-8 months to take it back to Colombia where my like-minded crew is awaiting for it. In exchange, I have the most positive attitude, a hard-working spirit and a resilient mindset to wwoof away.

We are a small scale farm located within the swan valley 25 min drive from Perth. Our primary area of farming is animal husbandry. We have cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens that we feed and look after daily. We also farm fruit and veg and produce wood fired bread that we sell at our weekend market stall at the front of our property.

We’re so keen to learn about organic and sustainable farming practices, ones that help to maintain the environment rather than destroy it, appreciating how important these practices are in an increasingly unsustainable food system. As a nutritionist, Eleanor strongly believes that what you eat has the biggest impact on your health. She’s an advocate for eating high quality, local and sustainably sourced food. More generally speaking, we’re excited to meet like-minded people, learning from their experiences, broadening our own horizons and acquiring new life skills. At the same time, we hope that our own skills and experiences can add value to the lives of our hosts and the people that we will meet. Joe loves to cook and is excited to help out in the kitchen, using amazing ingredients grown in beautiful places.

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.

We have a large suburban block in a beautiful seaside area adjacent to Park Beach, a popular surf Beach. We grow our own vegetables, make compost, mulch and biochar and are constantly developing our gardens. We also have an extensive, primarily native, garden which needs tending from time to time. We have recently commenced landscaping a new area having large rock walls built.
