We live at the Co-ordination Co-op which is one of the largest communities in Australia, established after the Aquarius Festival in 1973. Our Community is set in an enchanted valley - 2000 acres backing on to the Nightcap NP - where around 200 residents live, committed to environmental preservation. We're surrounded by subtropical rainforest with bubbling creeks, great swimming holes, excellent bushwalks & abundant wildlife. Friendly easy-going Hosts - happy to share our knowledge & vast experience of alternative lifestyle. We would like help with our gardens & orchards, weed control, building maintenance seed & bulb collection & anything else that's happening at the time. Accommodation for 1-3 in our home. Vegetarian meals only.  No smoking inside. No cats or dogs. Initial stay 3-5 days. Longer stays definitely possible. Have a great creek for swimming in the warmer months. Sustainable living with a view to living in harmony with nature. Off the grid power system and solar hot water, lowering our impact on our beautiful planet. Wildlife sanctuary with a myriad of different birds and animals. Feel at home!  

My property has been different since 4th January last year when a savage bushfire wiped out every square cm of its 175 acres. I always wondered whether established rainforest would burn easily, and I learned that if the fire is hot enough, the inherent damp in the environment makes virtually no difference to how combustible it is. It is still beautiful with a new rugged kind of beauty - the beauty of a survivor. It is largely ancient rock formations, and you can see the rock so much more now that it isn't draped in greenery. It has been amazing to see how quickly life has sprung back, though, as green sprouts emerge and take off from every nook and cranny. Here as a WWOOFer you can experience a pioneering lifestyle, living simply, very simply, without power and with variable phone and internet access. Sleep in your own tent if it has sewn-in floor, or in basic safe shelter provided and help develop a fabulous rainforest property on which I plan to establish accommodation for homeless young people. Tasks? You name it . . . previous helpers have gained skills in natural building (both earth building and construction with timber-in-the-round and dressed timber), how to fell and bark trees, how to build a professional looking deck using felled timber for the structure - also sheds, tank stands etc. Help to create our Cob buildings - currently in the planning stage. Stay a while and learn how to build a Cob house!  It's not as hard as you think. Previously we were developing an organic garden following permaculture principles, however that infrastructure was lost in the fire and so now we are starting all over again. For the time being, the emphasis is on getting infrastructure rebuilt, so there is accommodation and water available for a start. Most of my WWOOFers have had little or no prior knowledge about building, and they have come away with good knowledge and skills in a matter of days or weeks. I'm happy to say they have frequently commented on what a great experience it was. I look forward to hearing from energetic, willing helpers.

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. 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.

It's the view! 41 ha (103 acre)  farm overlooking the glorious, green rolling hills of South Gippsland. Enjoy the  variable weather, stunning sunsets, huge sky and sparkling stars. We've Busy Bees, relaxed, inquisitive Black Angus, Hereford and Black Baldy Beef cattle, Black faced Suffolk sheep and quite a fruit/berries/ herb/vegetable garden. Wildlife abounds as we plant more indigenous species along our waterways. An ex travel planner ( helpful for ideas) and engineer, we've travelled extensively in Australia and overseas. How to get here: We are 2  hours East of Melbourne. Can pick you up in Leongatha ( bus from Melbourne), or from the train in Trafalgar or Morwell. There are also Buses from Wonthaggi via Inverloch and Leongatha to nearby Mirboo North. Or from Traralgon and Morwell. If you want an interesting, varied, enjoyable experience, our farm is it! We welcome WWOOFers looking to experience a different life.

To learn some new skills whilst contributing to the community meaningfully. I have had friends do WWOOFing experiences before and they have said its such a great way to do both of these things and everything in between 🙂

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.

Robbie and her partner Martin share a comfy home on 17 acres near beautiful Jervis Bay. Around us are forests to walk in, bright clear night skies to watch, beaches to play on, dolphins to delight in, and kangaroos & wallabies hopping about. We like sharing our life with WWOOFers. Robbie has been sharing her life with WWOOFers since the year 2000. There are horses (not for beginner riders), chooks, dogs & cats to care for, as well as maintenance of the home & 17 acres. We like to negotiate with WWOOFers what they should do and try to find tasks that suit the individual. Accommodation for 1 within our home. Shared meals, all cook together, mixed diet, vegetarians catered for. No smoking inside. Initial stay 3-5 days to ensure we are all happy. Longer stays negotiable after initial stay.

Great opportunity and reason to travel, spend time in nature and connect with people. I am keen to be involved in hands on work that supports others to build and maintain their sustainable living practices, learning along the way. Overall, I hope wwoofing will be an inspiring and energising experience.

At the moment, I find myself at a crossroads in life. I am looking for work and considering study options. I don't wish to return to the public service, yet I don't know what other path to take. I think that it'd be a good thing to meet some people through WWOOF, see some more of Australia, and doing some outdoor work again.

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.

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.

New environmentally friendly home on 1 acre of land surrounded by forests in beautiful Marysville, abundance of birds and many native animals live in surrounding bush.

High Valley Garden Pty Ltd - pesticide free property growing 180 varieties of vegetables and 82 varieties of fruit for own use and local sales in the Omeo, Vic region. The property is off grid, relying on solar and rainwater catchment. My wife and I take pride in growing almost all our own food throughout the year (with the exception of ice-cream and chocolate) and enjoy the mountains in which our little hobby farm is nestled in. We love cycling, running and bush walking and a vegetarian diet of super healthy organic food, picked fresh each meal. In our spare time we work for a non-profit helping survivors of human trafficking, as well as some gardening odd jobs around the area.

I have space for people now and would really love to host some keen woofers . Now the borders are open ,how about heading down to our special Island Home ? If there is someone interested in a long term place to live and learn about organic farming, I am open to that. . 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 28 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 .

I joined WWOOF to seek farm work and enjoy country living. I am particularly interested in permaculture and organic farming techniques. However I’m open to any new learning while l work in a farm. I’m hoping to contribute to your farm and agro business. I look forward to meeting you.

I stumbled upon it when I was researching possible things to do. I joined because I am also very interested in the environment and am studying it at university next semester. I am hoping to have fun and gain some experience in a different field of work.

Midway between Rainbow Beach/Fraser Island & Noosa. Our 35 acre magic valley has a huge lake for canoeing, fishing & swimming. We have just had our house reroofed so presently have a surplus of roofing iron and have some building programs, so would love some muscle. I would like a herd of sheep made with the corrugated iron, I think that would be fun too. Rossmount is an exotic fruit farm & propagation nursery. We make volunteering interesting & fun. You will learn about fruit tree growing, harvesting, training & weeding. We like new projects & wish to enhance our remnant forest. Accommodation in large caravan, or the cabin   We are close to public transport & rail. Good food & company. Will P/U in Gympie with prior notice.
