I grew up in the New Zealand countryside, so not a stranger to rural life, but as an adult have travelled and lived overseas for significant periods, but looking to put roots down in Australia. I would like to get to know the people of rural Australia and experience the lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of cities and the consumptive lifestyle.

I studied sustainable agriculture at university, worked with youth gardening education programs, and am eager to learn more from farmers, land stewards, permaculturalists and eco villages in Australia as I complete my 88 days! I am looking for BUSHFIRE RECOVERY zip code eligible stays of a week to a month in duration in order to have a chance to slow down, experience life in regional Australia, and exchange my skills. I'm also eager to learn anything that will equip me for my dreams for the future of owning an intentional community / ecovillage / yoga & artist retreat on land with my best friends (the ones who I lived in a co-op with previously). I enjoy deep converations and look forward to learning what you're passionate about! I’m on a Big Lap of Australia, have been traveling around and am planning to spend the next few months in VIC, NSW, and QLD.

I hope to renew my visa for a second year and learn new things while I'm here. I don't care about the money, as long as I have a bed I will be very happy.

Southern Tasmania - Huon Valley 50 acre property in Huon valley Tasmania Mainly bush/ and some pasture 10 mins to Huonville, 40 mins to Hobart … very private property 2 over- loving dogs and chooks, goats, sheep, 3 ponies   Looking for help to keep on building infrastructure around the property so if you have experience in building that would be great!

You would have your own cute caravan in a privte spot with a newly built shower and toilet facility

At the core of it, I think I’ve joined WWOOF to challenge myself and to learn from people who are leading a life so different from mine. I want to experience all of it, the challenges and the rewards, and the idea of being of help to anyone fills me with joy, let alone someone who is actively working towards a better life, a better planet, or simply curating their little slice of the world.

4 acres with over 30 fruit trees & over 20 organic herbs which is used in the restaurant on the property. Host Nick won the Native Garden Competition many times.

Work includes maintaining the gardens, weeding, pruning, fruit picking, preparing & bottling produce, maintaining Worm Farm etc. WWOOFers must be willing to work, have a happy & enthusiastic disposition.

Here is a story written by a wonderful French WWOOFer Lény Gourven who visited us in 2013, we still keep in touch! WWOOFers Shay and Dean visited and made a video series about their WWOOFing journey around Australia. Here is the episode on our farm 🙂

I joined WWOOF because I want to have some more practical experience working on agroecological farms. In my studies I have learned much about (agro)ecology and the theoretical background behind sustainable farming systems. However, what they failed to teach at my university, was the reality of operating a sustainable farm. Especially the financial aspect of operating a healthy farm business was neglected. Since I am interested in potentially starting my own sustainable farming business in the future I would love to know more about these things, if possible. But primarily I just want some more practical experience with different kinds of farm work as up to now I have mostly grown and processed food as a hobby and not in a more professional setting. Additionally, I'm just really excited to learn more about the plants and animals on Australian farms, because I currently know relatively little about the Australian climate or its local ecosystems.

This is a rural/residential property with extensive lawns, orchards and garden beds. It has been developed along Syntropic and Permaculture lines. It has a large dam which is used for irrigation.

This is our second caravan trip, our first being in 2011, traveling and WWOOFF-ing with a 6- and a 1.5-year-old for 9 months. During that time, we enjoyed the hospitality of 3 hosting families and the opportunity to spend time with and learn from them. Finding ourselves in areas we hadn’t visited before, and doing things we had never done. We have subscribed to WWOOFF as we welcome the opportunity to meet new people, discover new places, and doing whatever is most helpful.

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 wwoof to connect with people who have similar values as I do, and to find a resonant landing place in Australia. I prefer a lifestyle that is based on the land, and I best connect with people who do as well.
