We joined WWOOF to explore and gain experiences during our travels across Australia. Having previous experience working on organic farms at home, this is a great way to continue doing what we enjoy while contributing to Australia's agriculture and getting to meet and learn from locals.

We joined WWOOF because we want to travel, meet people, and do something useful. We don’t have experience in farming yet, but we are very motivated to learn. We like to work outside, help others, and learn about sustainable living. We want to start soon, get experience, and see the world from a new point of view.

 

I join WWOOF because I’d like to discover Australia by being in touch with Nature. Working in a farm seems to me a good way to make it. I like spendind time outside and work in nature, as I’ve already experienced last summer.

One of the reasons I want to go to Australia for a working holiday is because I see it as a chance to step out of my comfort zone and live independently in a different cultural environment. I don’t just want to travel — I want to experience life through work and connection. Exchanging labor for accommodation feels meaningful to me, because it represents a fair and human way of living — one that values effort, trust, and shared experiences more than money. I hope this journey will help me learn how to adapt, communicate across cultures, and find confidence in unfamiliar places. Most importantly, I want to bring back not souvenirs, but stories, friendships, and a better understanding of who I am and what kind of life I want to live.   I’m excited about the idea of learning through hands-on experiences — whether it’s helping on a farm, assisting in a hostel, or doing creative tasks. I see this as a chance to grow more independent, improve my English communication skills, and explore a lifestyle that’s simple but meaningful. For me, this isn’t just about traveling — it’s about stepping out of my comfort zone, discovering who I am, and understanding how people around the world connect through work and kindness.  

Can do the 88 days for  417 visa extension. The property is approx 160 acres. We are a registered cattle station but we don't have many cattle. We are in the process of planting tropical fruit trees in orchards with a difference. We are situated 4 hrs from Cairns near Cooktown in Far North Qld. Unfortunately we are not a "certified organic" farm but we strive to maintain this regardless. Biodiversity being the main point . A lot to learn for those that want to learn. Would like people willing to volunteer for their board, wifi & food, (personal items and snacks not included). You will have your own private, clean & lockable room in the main house. We all live like a big family. The work is not hard with plenty of things to do around the farm mostly gardening but other jobs include fencing, mulching, weeding, painting and cleaning. There is no mobile reception here But you will have unlimited wifi. This position would suit mature, outgoing people and someone who just wants to experience a different way of life. Must be reasonably fit and easy to get along with others and other nationalities. Having initiative and working independently is appreciated and preferred. Prefer non smoker,   Any nationality, culture or gender is OK and poor English is OK .  English is the preferred language to communicate or translate and helps those who want to practise. We ask for 5 hours per day (7am starts) though this is flexible, everything depends on the weather, Ocean tides, rain, Bush walks , ETC . We try to offer outings to see the area and have a break from work, but is weather dependent. This is the tropics so weather can be hot and humid in the middle of the day . Hence the early start . Wild life is abundant and you may have the opportunity to see & handle abundant wildlife first hand. We have 4 dogs, horses, cattle, free range chickens. Free range pythons ( Non poison snakes ), Etc. The Property is on the river with good fishing. Public transport near by with the drop off point at our iconic "Lions Den Hotel". With prior notice we can offer to pick up & drop off from Cairns. We  also offer you bush walks with links to others in the area that also host 88 day helpers. So you have other options to mix your 88 day hosts

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a great way to get to know local people, experience Australian life/culture and learn something about organic growing.

I wanted to experience life in Australia. I love agriculture and nature, so I wanted to experience it firsthand. I wanted to spend time that I couldn't experience on a trip and broaden my future life options.

Hi WWOOFers, I apologise that I am unavailable at present due to illness. Watch this space - I will take this down when back up and running!! I have a large property in the beautiful rainforest area of Kangaroo Valley in the Southern Highlands of NSW. Unfortunately, we were badly hit by the Australian bushfires in January 2020, and much of the work on the farm still centres around bushfire recovery and construction. We live a pioneering lifestyle without all the usual comforts: we have a composting toilet, off-site shower, outdoor 2-burner gas stove for cooking etc. We do now have a small solar power system, and internet. Accommodation is basic but comfortable. Food is good - that's important! You can also bring your own van, or sleep in your own tent if it has a sewn-in floor. WWOOFers can learn building (often using timber we fell ourselves), including earth building, developing vegetable gardens and food forests, and many other diverse skills as we work together on a wide range of projects. No prior knowledge is needed, as I am happy to teach you everything you need to know. The purpose for the property ultimately is to establish long term accommodation for homeless or at-risk young people. My background is in social work, and I have many years' experience working with children and families struggling with various issues. I really want to emphasise to all prospective WWOOFers that we still have a long way to go in restoring the property. In many ways it still looks like a disaster zone. Life is difficult here and I don't want you to be under any illusions that there is something romantic about colonial living. It is hard, and it is not something that just anyone can cope with. I need WWOOFers who understand this, and who thrive on working hard and making a contribution. So far, WWOOFers of this kind also find the experience deeply rewarding in a range of ways, as they have expressed in the reviews submitted below.  

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.

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.

Welcome to our farm! A 34-acre family farm nestled in the beautiful Adelaide Hills near Clarendon, South Australia. We’re a fun-loving, social family who love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. On our property, we care for sheep, chickens, goats and tend to a growing orchard of fruit trees.

We have done great woofing experience in new Zealand and we would like to have new ones in Australia to discover new way of living, sharing with people and discovering great places

Our 100ac farm is situated on Deep Creek in the Macedon Ranges, about 1 hour outside Melbourne. We run livestock and grow vegetables for our own use. Animals include cows, alpacas, sheep, chickens, dogs and a pig. There are two of us living on this property, entirely off the grid.

I joined WWOOF to have an immersive experience while traveling and get to spend time outdoors in Australia. I volunteer on a farm in the US and love it.

Currently accepting bookings. The summer experience will include cattle work, irrigation, hay making, vegetable gardening, horse work, poultry work, tree planting and maintenance, shed building, setting up new bee hives, bread making, cheese making and jam making (Apricots, peaches, figs, grapes and mulberries are in season). For fun we're getting ready for an old fashioned country town Christmas and New Year, baking, parties with friends, swimming in the river, creek or at the local pool, playing tennis and cycling. NOTE: DUE TO NUMEROUS FLOODS AFFECTING OUR POSTCODES (2336 AND 2337) WE UNDERSTAND THAT WWOOFING WORK ON OUR PROPERTIES is considered eligible for specified work for the purpose of a second or third Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa. SUMMARY: If you're looking for variety this is it! Beef cattle, dairy cattle, bees, lucerne hay, poultry, pigs, horses, vegetables and herbs, cheese making, jam making, brewing and preserving are spread across three amazing locations including a 600 acre grazing property rich with wildlife, walking trails and mountain streams bordering the beautiful Barrington Tops National Park (perfect for camping) and two riverside Hunter Valley irrigation properties with comfortable air conditioned farmhouse accommodation near Scone, the Horse Capital of Australia. We travel to Sydney, Newcastle and Tamworth regularly with work and are able to help WWOOFers with lifts to and from. Alternatively you can reach our Hunter Valley property via an easy train ride.

Have a chance to live with local Reconnect with nature To practice and improve my English language skills Although I don’t have professional knowledge yet, I am very interested in dairy farming and agriculture.

I’m a university student and majoring in agriculture and ecology, so I want to work in various farms. In addition, I want to enjoy the unique culture, scenery, and cuisine that can be experienced in Australia. Through working as a WWOOFer, I want to not only deepen my knowledge of agriculture, but also improve my English skill. I’d like to make friends who are from different countries and talk about a variety of things.

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.

To take part in an exchange of my labour for cultural and technical learning. I enjoy gardening and working outdoors. To make my extended holiday less mundane. Maybe to help me be less afraid of coming across snakes and spiders in Australia.

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).
