In order to ease the anxiety of looking for a job after arriving, I want to first observe the local culture and way of speaking before continuing with my life there.

When traveling I like to get out of the city as fast as possible and start exploring the culture. I believe that wwoofing is a great way to see the real Australian culture and also to gain interesting experiences

I would like to join WWOOF in Australia because I am very interested in learning about Australian agriculture and sustainable farming practices. I believe that by working directly on farms, I can gain hands-on experience and deepen my understanding of the land, crops, and lifestyle in rural Australia. Another reason is that I would like to stay in Australia for a longer period of time and travel around different regions. WWOOF offers a unique opportunity to explore many areas while being part of local communities, rather than just being a tourist. Finally, I am eager to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. I believe cultural exchange is one of the most valuable experiences in life, and I would love to share my own culture while learning from hosts and fellow WWOOFers. I am excited to contribute, learn, and grow through this program.

I own 25 acres of steep, rocky land in W Tree in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains. Over almost 35 years I have built (with considerable help) a lovely passive solar mudbrick house, planted crazy numbers of trees, gardened and raised my wonderful son. In many ways, I have worked towards a dream from my early 20's to build a country life. My place is lovely. The vast expanse of bushland that surrounds it is beyond spectacular. As age and a dodgy back now limits my ability to do the physical work needed here, I am increasingly inclined to welcome wwoofers who are younger and fitter than me. I happily repay them with good food and a homely environment and an introduction to both W Tree and my greater area. Having grown up in Wulgulmerang (30ks up the road) I know thw area and it's inhabitants well. We can Sign off on your 2nd Year Visas as we were affected by the 2019-2020 Bushfires. PLEASE NOTE: MUST be fully Vaccinated- thank you

I want to make my time in Australia more meaningful. WWOOFing allows me to connect with locals, learn new skills, and experience something unique that I couldn’t get from regular city life or part-time jobs. Australia has beautiful nature and large farms, so I want to experience that lifestyle and learn how people live in harmony with the environment.

It gives me a lot of peace and satisfaction to deal with animals. I enjoy caring for them, observing their behavior and making sure they feel comfortable and safe.I used to ride horses for almost 2 years. It was great interacting with the horses and working with them. Dealing with animals helps me relax and gives me a sense of responsibility and satisfaction. I also think it is important to learn where our food comes from and how it is produced. Learning about growing vegetables and other products really appeals to me, because I enjoy eating tasty and healthy food. By understanding how food is grown in a sustainable and responsible way, I can be more conscious about what I eat while increasing my knowledge about nature. For me, caring for animals and enjoying good food is a way to relax and enjoy everyday life.

We joined WWOOF because we want to deepen our experience in organic farming, learn practical skills, and connect with people who share similar values. As we travel through Australia, we’re excited to learn from different hosts, expand our knowledge about sustainable living, and contribute with our hands and enthusiasm. For us, WWOOF is the perfect way to combine meaningful work, cultural exchange, and personal growth.

Just to go to somewhere nice, meet nice people and enjoy some outdoors work, hopefully learn something along the way 🙂 A lot of the woofing has a focus on sustainability which i am interested in and would like to be a part of : )

🌱 Why I Joined WWOOF I joined WWOOF because I want to explore and understand the connection between nature, design, and sustainable living. I’m especially interested in landscape design and urban planning, and I believe working with plants and the land is essential for building beautiful and practical environments. WWOOF offers the chance to learn directly from people, nature, and experience—not just from books or classrooms. I hope to work closely with hosts who can teach me about gardening, building, landscaping, and farming, and who enjoy sharing knowledge, daily life, and conversation. I would be especially happy to hear from hosts who: Are open to sharing knowledge about gardening, landscaping, or building Enjoy cooking or sharing meals Like talking in English (even simple conversations help me improve!) Please feel free to message me. I reply quickly and am excited to meet kind and inspiring people!

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.

Welcome, We are based in a suburb of Melbourne called The Basin. The Basin is situated at the foot of The Dandenong Ranges and is the gateway to The Yarra Valley. This farm and our home is 3.25 acres and we are starting from the ground up making garden beds, worm farms, watering systems and caring for our chooks. We have a Horse Drawn Carriage business that operates from our home property. The horses are stabled here when in work and some general horse care may be required at times. Accommodation is in a self-contained unit detached from the family home. It has a separate bathroom and toilet, queen size bed, TV and kitchenette. We also have a property of 110 acres situated in Glenburn, which is 62 kms away. The farm has been neglected by its previous owner, so is quite run down. I drive to the property daily to care for the cattle, sheep and horses that graze there. We are aiming to make this property as biodynamic as possible. We are making our own compost, worm tea, and compost teas to improve the land. Fencing and building of sheds is the big startup jobs underway. In summary we are close to Melbourne City, The Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, Public Transport and we have a lovely Village, hosting coffee shops, bottle shop and pubs.

I am passionate about sustainability and very much enjoy gardening, different projects and taking care of animals. I would love to one day have my own fruit/ vegetable garden and see WWOOF as an opportunity to learn more about what that would entail.

We purchased our home in June 2023. Situated on over an acre of land, surrounded by national forest and offering stunning views across the hills, we believe we have found our own paradise. Our property was described as a "Renovator's Delight" when we acquired it, presenting us with numerous potential projects. To date, we have installed a new roof and guttering, added a water tank, and gone completely off-grid with a standalone solar system. Additionally, we have planted over 200 native rainforest and fruit trees, and transformed bare land into food and flower gardens. With assistance last year, we created these gardens, built a shade house, established an outdoor laundry, conducted extensive gardening, tidying, and commenced dismantling the enclosed back veranda. In exchange for 5 hours of work per day, 4-5 days per week (covering tasks ranging from gardening to building, carpentry, and painting), we offer our expertise and practices, three meals daily, and a camping space if you have your own accommodation (van/caravan or tent with power and running water available from the unfinished ablutions block). Alternatively, we can provide a bedroom with a double bed or a comfortable camp bed if you prefer not to share a bed. Our home is modest but comfortable and is continually evolving.  

I joined WWOOF in hopes of developing my skill set further and learning more about organic farming practices. Growing up on a small berry farm, I feel most at home and comfortable working in a farm setting. I was excited to learn about WWOOF because it is such a great way to learn deeper about different farming techniques around the world, while meeting new people and having the opportunity to share knowledge and experience.

About Our Farm We’re a small, family-run 5-acre permaculture property located in Shadforth, WA, just 4km from the beautiful town of Denmark on the south coast. Our farm is designed with permaculture principles and currently revolves around a chicken mandala system—where chickens rotate through garden zones to regenerate soil, control pests, and fertilise veggie beds. We have regeneratively grazed sheep, who need to me moved frequently. Work would also include planting fruit trees, and doing some light tractor work for earth shaping. Help Needed We’re looking for WWOOFers to assist with: Chicken care and feeding, sheep care and moving, Planting and maintaining the vegetable gardens, Making compost and caring for seedlings, Small construction and maintenance projects, Light tractor work (if skilled), tree planting
