My interest in WWOOFing is in part connected to my family background. When I was growing up, for around 10 years my family would make a ritual trip to Victoria to look after my aunt and uncle's farm (a property that also hosted WWOOFers periodically). My interest in sustainable farming practices probably began there, and latterly has become something I'm keen to know more about. With my plan to spend several months travelling interstate, help exchange/farm stay work seems to be a great way of getting to know new people, and provides a means to experience destinations for longer. I'm a diligent worker (not afraid of manure), receptive to learning new skills and I look forward to exploring new places.

I'm keen to get my hands dirty, laugh and learn; meeting like minded people and support local whilst on my travels. I'm a hard worker and can turn my hand to most jobs around the farm and learn as much as I can about different people and ways of life.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience a simpler and more grounded way of living, close to nature and people. Over the past few years, I’ve been learning how to take better care of myself, using natural and homemade alternatives, and being more mindful of what I consume — in a world where so many things are industrial and harmful to our health.
WWOOFing feels like a meaningful way to continue that journey, while learning new skills, discovering organic farming, and contributing to projects that share these values.
It’s also a unique opportunity for me to connect with local communities, improve my English, and live an enriching adventure during my gap year in Australia.

Red Hill - these were the early years of the wine industry in a region full of export quality apple orchards. Cool climate, slow ripening late season fruit was the impetus for producing this region's Method Champenoise in 1990 and a second example in 1992. Late disgorging, is financially difficult - especially during the Keating years when overdrafts attracted 18pc interest. Much hard work & some difficult decisions, enabled one to weather that economic storm. Now on the NW coast of Tasmania sits a 5acre property. The soil is a rich, fertile, naturally deep of a brown to red colour. While beef cattle & sheep(meat) are grazed extensively, dairy cattle are also prominent.We have one, just a km away. Its milk goes to Cadbury. My house has a tank to collect rain. 16 solar panels are on the roof. A bore provides year round, potable water, for irrigation of a Mediteranian vegetable garden. A small established orchard provides apples, pears, lemons, red grapes, Quince, kiwifruit & white peaches. So come experience spring & summer in ELLIOTT. Yes Real caffe. No smokers please.

I was a tourism student at the University of Otago in New Zealand when I first heard about WWOOFING. It seemed like a fantastic way to get to know locals, do something useful while on holiday and most importantly: to be a part of everyday life in Australia.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

Visa Extensions for my second and third year. Looking for experience that can help me find a fully paid job later in the future. Farm and agriculture has always interested me so I can give it a try.

I have raised my children. I have taught other children and adults. I am now ready for something new. Something that helps in looking after our planet.

I’ve heard from multiple friends who have done it that it’s an amazing experience, you make a difference, you’re well looked after and you meet amazing people whilst doing it. We are hard workers and love helping out where we can.

Winton is an old estate with a rich history currently being restored and renovated by us. 30 mins from Hobart and the Airport. Winton is 14 acres - a mixture of historic fruit trees, plantings and acreage for rescue animals - pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and the like to do their stuff.

I have been a member of woof Australia on and off for the last ten years, and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the people and wondered places, now it's time to share that again with my second heart, Corazon!! I love the mindset of a love exchange over money, learning about farming practices, the animals, people, and the beauty of nature and community. Nothing bad to say about my experiences to date and will continue as a member as long as I'm in Oz. This 2 year membership will expire and by then Corazon and I will be living and loving overseas, where the conscious are abundant, not scattered. It's a great way to connect with community and I love to learn and add positivity and value, from my learned experiences this far, my time on this land.

Through WWOOF I hope to meet people with similar dreams and interests. I hope to be able to learn and listen aswell as share my views & things I know. I am so happy to be able to travel to Australia, it would be wonderfull to explore the australian nature and culture.

I hope that by living and interacting with you all, I can learn new values ​​and humanity and grow as a person.

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.

I like to meet and connect with locals and other travellers too, to share experiences and storys and to be temporarily part of a place. I made great experiences in New Zealand already that I‘ll never forget and in Europe via the Workaway platform as well.
