Search WWOOF Oz

As I said, I have just finished high school. I wanted to take a break from my studies. Therefore I was searching and one day I found this possibility of working in a farm in exchange for food and accomodation. I had the feeling that was what I had to do. So here I am :). I love travelling and I have always wanted to go to Australia, it is a dream. Discovering new people, a new culture, learning new things, that is why I want to become a wwoofer ! I am sure that this experience can also be very rewarding in terms of social relations, responsibility and independence. It is also a good way to improve my English ! I do not have any experience in wwoofing but I am here to learn. Leaving far away from my country is also a way to prove to myself that I can do things alone and that I am not lost without my family or my friends.

I want to experience more of Australia and have visited there many times both for work and play. I enjoy meeting new people and being part of a like minded community. I have been a WWOOF host and would like to experience the other side of it.

About a year ago, I thought I need change in my life it got to monotonous. Then I heard about WWOOFing the first time. A friend of mine was in Australia for a year and told me about the adventures he had. He met so many different people and had so many stories to tell. Then I looked up in the internet what I found there was the change I needed in my life. The fact that you work with the local people dive into their daily life was fascinating to me. As I grew up in the country side I know how to work in the garden, take care of livestock and fix things around the house. I can drive a tractor, a forklift and cars with sticks. Another motivation was to improve my English skills as I get in touch with a lot of native speakers I will surely improve my English.

Mt Jukes Eco Retreat is a farm based on permaculture principles, 30 mins from Mackay CBD and 1hr from Airlie Beach. The property is on 7 acres, completely off the grid runs on solar and batteries. We also run our own water and are growing our own food to be fully self sufficient. We hold Yoga classes here most Sunday's in our beautiful Yoga Shala.  Go to our Facebook page "Mt Jukes Eco Retreat" to view our classes. You are welcome to join these classes during your stay. We have a natural spring running through the property so you can swim all year. We have over 400 fruit tree with 50 different varieties. All food that has been planted is based off nutritional values, food is our fuel so we treat what we eat with upmost respect. All meals provided are healing and based on a 5000 year old tradition (Ayurveda). The food is vegetarian, and very delicious! Mt Jukes sits right in front of the property which was a volcano thousands of years ago, not many in this area. Dave and Aune live on the property full-time, you will also be accompanied by Roko, (my beloved Groodle), 3 chickens and we also have 2 Bee hives. We are in the process of introducing more animals that fit within the system. If you like the sound of our retreat and would like to stay on the property and help us with farm duties please get in contact!

Large backyard garden. I have fruit trees, vegie beds, bee hive and chooks. My house is in walking distance to shopping centre, bus, leisure centre and library. I have some internet access, and bedroom has shower and basin attached. I volunteer in the Grovedale Community Garden (it has a Facebook page); in the Grovedale Community Orchard (also has a Facebook page); and buy and help with the Grovedale Veggie Box which supplies me with fresh, organic vegetables (also Facebook page). From all these places I learn more about how to sustainably garden and look after my chickens.

6.6 Hectares on Raymond Island in Gippsland lakes. Currently in the set phase of bootstrapping a micro scale farm / farmstead to service our small community. We are right on the water and surrounded by nature. We need some extra hands in infrastructure projects and setting up gardens , as well as assist in some light duties such as weeding and cleaning. Any and all skill levels are welcome, the main thing is willingness to work and learn, anything else can be taught. You will not be asked or expected to work more than we agree on and your time off will be respected, as will your personal space both physically and mentally. You will be sharing the living space of one of the hosts but have a room with a lockable door. One host is me, Franz, the other is my elderly mother Jan who will be cook amazing organic meals and deserts along with homemade ice cream.

I am joining WWOOF as it is an opportunity to find farm jobs. I would like to gather more experience in different methods of farming. Also it would be nice to get in touch with local farmers to learn more about the given situation.

Of course I’m WWOOFing to travel and see the world but what I’m really looking for out of this experience is to connect to nature and get some headspace, to learn new skills, to get my hands dirty, and to come away with more knowledge about the earth and it’s creatures, including myself. I’m really excited about learning all about organic farming in every way it’s practiced. I have very far off goals of someday having my own little spot of land, even if that’s just a big vegetable garden in a backyard, and am really passionate about sustainable practices and giving back to earth as well as only taking what is absolutely needed.

I was born in a big city in China where there are not so many wild animals and plants. But I do love the magnificent nature and animals depicted on TV and in books. I live in this wide world, and all I see are cats and dogs in pet stores. It doesn't feel real to me. I think I should take a break from my busy city life and experience the real world. Because of COVID-19, I lost a lot of opportunities to see the world, but I really hope I can communicate with different people, learn about different places and feel different cultures in my college life. Nature is always relaxing. It will free me from monotonous learning, stop meaningless working, and turn to thinking about my real interest in life, to find my real passion. I hope my time with you can make you happy as well.

We join WWoof Australia because we decided to travel in Australia to get out of our work routine and to create memories. Wwoof Australia is a great platform to meet new people and learn about their way of life. This web site is a good compromise to ally our love of nature and work.

I want to join wwoof to get closer to nature and offer my help to farmers. I want to be able to learn from the know-how of the workers of the land and get closer to the values of our planet. I like to exchange and share and the wwoof is also the way to spread values of respect for the environment. I am committed to protecting our Earth in all that it has to offer us. I am of a simple, joyful and dynamic nature and I want to live a unique and full of life experience.

I spent my entire childhood in a village living on nearby farms and caring for animals. The farm is an environment that I have always being familiar with and liked. Also, what characterizes me is my desire to exchange and learn from new people. It is for all these reasons that WWOOFing inspires me so much. During my WWOOFing experience, which must take place between early January 2023 and mid-February 2023 for ten days or more, I want to share the daily life of a Host located around Alice Springs.

200 acres of family lifestyle farm with a huge lake for swimming, canoeing & fishing. We have sheep, cattle, chooks, ducks, geese, house cows and a couple of miniature goats! Volunteering includes veggie gardening, ordinary gardening, milking (if you like), clearing paddocks & animal care. Accommodation is in separate unit, bathroom facilities are 10 steps away in the main house but not shared with family. The unit has 1 Queen sized bed & a queen pull out sofabed, mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, microwave. Eating with the family is mixed meat diet. Non-smokers only. We look forward to meeting you!

First of all, I want to get away from the city and the corona pandemic even for a moment, and I want to meet various people and have various experiences.

I joined WWOOF because I want to get in touch with real locals and get to experience a brief insight into their exciting ways of living. I also would love to feel a sense of belonging and mutual support staying with a family or a group of people on a farm. I am really determined to make the most out of my work and holiday visa in Australia and diving into the Aussie lifestyle! I hope that during my journey, I will become more independent, self-assured and relaxed in a sense of forcing myself to live day to day without a fixed long-term plan, something that is quite challenging to me. In short, I hope to grow as a person and make some amazing memories!

For 40 years now, on 940 acres of diverse plateau-edge forest with spectacular gorge pools and waterfalls, we two zoologists have created an off-grid, solar, gravity, wood and people powered - experiment in sustainable food gardening and land, fire and wildlife management. We have lots of food gardening  activities happening at the moment and excss produce is being donated to several disaster relief and global care charities each week. We are also helping out on other exciting  local plateau community projects such as the Oxygen Farm ( conservation reserve), the Elands Company (an old sawmill now used for community events) and our creative bush fire recovery "recombobulation" project at the local community health centre. Volunteer hours are flexible, tasks varied, and diet mixed,  with loads of in season fresh fruit, vegies, nuts and a  big selection of delicious preserves from the large caged gardens/orchard and landscaped swales. Accommodation at the house is in 2 rooms, one with 3 single beds and one with a Queen bed but you can also choose to camp close by if you have that gear. Can pick you up from public transport at Wingham/Taree/Port Macquarie. Min stay 1 week unless you have own transport. Long stays are welcome as we love having visitors, sharing stories and showing them our beautiful river and plateau environment.

Through this experience we hope to learn about the environment (wet, dry, mountainous, seaside) that surrounds us, the local culture (fruits and vegetables) and most of all the people, you. We like to discover new things, visit and have fun while working. We find that cultural exchange is something very important that brings as much to each other. Australia has always attracted us, both culturally and environmentally. We hope to gain as many skills as possible to reconnect with nature.

I like nature and animals. i wanted to live in abroad, Australia and DIY. i hope meet soul friends. By participating in the WWOOF, I think that I can have various valuable experiences. I want to broaden my horizons and live a rich life by going abroad, getting in touch with nature, and interacting with people from overseas.

We are farm worker and are really interesting to learn about organic, permaculture and work in this way, our dreams is to learn as much as possible and then we will come back in Italy and I hope open something like that
