Search WWOOF Oz

Retired vocational high school teacher wood worker, carpenters skills. I have 2 sons and 3 grand children love them all. Willing self motivated worker, amiable, good sense of humour.

We almost bought a house this summer. But instead, we dared, sold our household, and are about to head of to a year of nature's adventures, friends making, bon fires and farm work. Joining as WWOOFers allows us to combine all those. We are eager to learn everything there is about growing your own produce and energy-efficient housing and animal keeping. Our plan is to travel, disconnect, reset and eventually start creating our own little farm. Along the way we seek fun and meaningful experiences. We are tolerant, trusting and respectful and expect the same in return. We strive in well structured and easy-going households within a vibrant community and a quite private place for solitude. If you say “hell yes” to us – hit that button and message us. We're currently staying in West Victoria and will do so until border restrictions allow otherwise.

We are hoping to gain access to welcoming people and interesting ideas for living life in the fullest, simplest way. Living at Peace Farm for this last year-ish has made clear to us the value of lived experience, and desire to find this whilst on our travels.

I want to learn some new skills and work outside. I'm interested in meeting new people and learning about different lifestyles. I'm a hard worker, and I've worked in similar roles before - on a farm in the rainforest in Costa Rica and as a gardener. I learn quickly, am adaptable and I'm not afraid of hard work.

My earth brick home and garden is in the green town of Denmark, adjacent to bushland & extensive walking & cycle trails. Situated close to the town centre, Wilson Inlet & within cycling distance of the ocean. Volunteering includes gardening & local environmental projects such as the Denmark Community Garden, landscaping a wetland area & Green Skills programs & other interesting work. Volunteer up 4.5 hours a day. Comfortable accommodation for 1-3 people. Denmark has a wide range of cultural, recreational & spiritual activities on hand. Bicycles for use. Free WIFI.  Can P/U from bus. Year round hosting.

To work in organic farms, learn heaps of new skills and meet the locals. In some woofing placements in NZ I really felt like I was part of the family.WWOOF is an amazing community.  I love the sociable aspects of woofing, and meeting people from very different background

Michael and I, (both 58 years old) and our friendly labrador Marley, live in our family home, on a private 5 acres, on the Blackall Range (about 425 m above sea level), Sunshine Coast Hinterland, 82 kilometres north of Brisbane. Two acres around the house are intensively managed, and the other 3 acres are rainforest, and weedy lantana and privet patches, down to Obi Obi Creek at the bottom of the property. We have two options to offer as accommodation for our WWOOFer volunteers, depending on vacancy. Our self contained granny flat underneath the main residence can accommodate a single person or a couple. Upstairs in the main residence there is a spare bedroom with ensuite, and external patio and entry. We have recently purchased the property, and are keen to establish the veggie patch and orchard, and regenerate areas of rainforest, according to permaculture principles. I am a soil consultant, working with regenerative agriculture/organic farmers and market gardeners across Australia, but particularly in south east Queensland. A few times a year, I teach soil classes for organic farmers and market gardeners, and also teach the soil component of the permaculture course at Crystal Water Eco Village. My speciality is soil mineral balancing. I completed a permaculture design certificate 22 years ago, and this will be my third (and last) personal permaculture property set up, but I am only just beginning, so there is much to be done. In our spare time, Michael and I both enjoy time on the water, fishing, and snorkelling on the wrecks at Tangalooma.

I don't love living full time in the city. I've always known about WWOOFing and have wanted to join, so here I am. I do not have room for a garden where I live at the moment and would love to spend time helping out on a property with a garden or a farm. I would love to learn about organic farming, permaculture etc. and I've had chickens in the past and love them. I prefer to learn hands on, am a quick learner and a hard worker, I also look forward to exploring and meeting new people while not working.

WWOOFing in all its various forms has been part of our world for almost 10 years. Needless to say we love it! In amongst plenty of hard work we've met some wonderful people, learnt an incredible amount both in terms of farming practices and different cultures and ways of life.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We appreciate help, enjoy young people and having an excuse to visit the beautiful and interesting places Adelaide, the hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia have to offer with them. Due to the corona virus all our booked overseas helpers had to cancel their flight to Australia. The first time in Years we might at times be without helpers at all. Some local Australian helpers, unable to go overseas are now filling the gap which is very nice as we used to have overseas helpers only before. Please read through all the text below and only apply if you think this is for you. We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angas River running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable gardens with free roaming bantams, big layer hens, a Muscovy duck, flower beds, lawns as well as two goats on paddocks and a cute house cat. 1 of our 4 kids, Katharina, is living next door with her partner. Bernward is semi retired but still runs a sustainable architecture and building consultancy business part time from offices attached to the home. Barbara works at the local hospital. We have been accommodating helpers since 2011  through various help exchange sites. If you want a break from travelling in a non judgmental  friendly  family environment and you are open and self-motivated, this is the place for you. This is not an action or party place but rather a place to relax and get creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, write and get back to nature. A big woodworking workshop invites creativity. Here  what Grace built in our workshop:   https://youtu.be/22iNA5Om6KU and https://youtu.be/BBJUSo0my8E ) I enjoy teaching woodworking skills to our helpers with the option to learn how to fit out campervans and tiny houses. A couple of times a week we heat up our Sauna and helpers are welcome to join. Help is always needed in the garden & paddock, picking berries & apples, looking after animals, weed control, making firewood, compost, cleaning up sheds & around the place, sometimes on a sustainable building site. We live 45min by car from Adelaide, 45min from safe swimming beaches & 45min from the surf, so we are pretty central. Accommodation  for 2 in separate stone cottage & own room in the main building. All share in home cooked evening meal. Mixed diet. No smokers please. Longer stays (min 3 weeks) preferred after initial few days. Please contact us via email only.

I'm looking for an immersive experience to try different ways of living and hopefully gain hints about what kind of life is calling out to me. I need to gain lots of practical skills as well, and the best way to do that is through actual work with my hands. Hopefully I can be useful to the host during my stay there, doing whatever work needs to be done.

We thought we'd join WWOOF to gain an authentic experience in the agriculture industry and to learn about what it really means to run your own farm before we try to actually do it ourselves. We hope to meet like minded friends while woofing as well as take away valuable skills for the future.

The Knowles is 4 hectares of stunning north facing hillside over-looking the Australian mainland’s most southerly town-Apollo Bay. We love living here. We have fruit trees, hazel nuts, olives, sheep, goats, bees & many, many weeds. There is always something to do and much to learn - from each other. WWOOFers share our cozy farm house in either double room or single guest room. We also have a seperate modern caravan with bathroom. We are 5 kms from town. Omnivorous folk preferred, but vegetarians are fine too. We share our home and like to get to know our volunteering guests. Work is mostly gardening & looking after animals. Good cooks & people with a sense of humour preferred.

About the Area: Osmington is a small townsite located in the South West region of Western Australia in the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River, about 20 km north-east of Margaret River. Margaret River is a small town south of Perth in western Australia, known for its craft breweries, boutiques and surrounding wineries. Beaches and surf breaks line the nearby coast, whose waters host migratory whales (Jun–Nov). Stretching between 2 lighthouses north and south of the town, the long-distance walk, the Cape to Cape Track, fringes the limestone caves and sea cliffs of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. How to get here: We can pick you up from Margaret River from the Bus Stop, please email or call to make arrangements.

To explore different parts of the country. Learn about permaculture and off grid living and meet people. As I have an interest in off grid living it would be good to meet other people doing this and also to explore parts of the country I may like to live in the future.

My work and studies shed an insight into why I want to start WWOOFing. I am passionate about sustainable resource management and agriculture but have spent most of my career at a desk.

I am itching to get outdoors and gain some practical skills and experience on the land. I grew up in the Hunter Valley and have fond memories of riding quad bikes, milking cows, and collecting eggs on friends' farms. I've had a bit of experience in tree planting, floral data collection and habitat assessments through my degree.

Here it is natural farming methods of producing beef,fruit and vegetables that are used here.there are large veggie gardens and extensive fruit orchards with a big variety of fruit that bear during the season-trickle watering. This ensures juicy produce, the working dogs & horses require years of training, there is minimal reliance on machinery but a wood splitter machine has been a boon to getting the wood supply done, an axe has proved to be out of date, it surely minimises the amount of hard work. Chooks also help supply plenty of eggs when they are laying.

I love travelling and experiencing new things and I believe WWoofing is the way to go. My dad recently bought a farm in my country and I would love to come back with farming experience to be able to help out.

We have a stunning 30 acre farm 15 minutes outside of Bendigo. We are new to farming life and are keen to share our beginning learnings with others. We are starting from a clean slate with no preconceived ideas about how things must be done. At present we are regenerating native vegetation along the creek, beginning pasture rotation for horses and raising lambs. Next will be to get the property fire safe for summer. Our future plans include starting a Children’s Farm including goats, donkeys, chickens, pigs and guinea pigs. We intend to develop an orchard, vegetable garden and a small crop area where we can grow our own hay. Accommodation is in our very comfortable and clean home. We currently have one bedroom available with two single beds. Bathroom is shared with our 14 year old son who is very respectful. It would be wonderful to meet new people and have helping hands while we care for our little piece of paradise.

We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building, such as fencing. We have 1000 acres of native vegetation, 4500 acres of grazing country for farming & bee keeping, with red undulating soil. Volunteering on our farm includes sheep & cattle stock work, farm chores, fencing, organic gardening, milking cows, tending sheep, chickens & turkeys, pruning trees and whatever else needs doing. At the moment we have some baby lambs and calves that need to be fed and taken care of. If you are interested in learning something new and getting to know what life on an Australian Farm is like, you are more than welcome to stay with us. We love to get to know different people from other countries and are happy to teach you new skills. We hope that you will have an unforgettable and unique experience with us on our rural farm in the Australian outback. We generally prefer longer stays.
