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.

Matan’s Lodge is a mixture of art, fun, beach & gardens in a permaculture setting, halfway between Margaret River and the beach. Artists & visitors stay here to enjoy the chance to create, exhibit & reconnect to nature. Non-artists who stay with us, help with the running of the place and often discover their own mediums of expression. Volunteering is varied and includes gardening, help with art installations, landscaping, help with maintenance of hobby farm and Gallery. Fun & creativity are the essentials... and many have called it the ‘perfect lifestyle’.

'Little Farm' is on 17 acres on the eastern edge of Trentham in Central Victoria, one and a quarter hours north west of Melbourne. The area is known for its rich, red basalt soil, high rainfall, cold winters, beautiful gardens, tall trees and potatoes. It also grows superb blueberries and a small patch is well established here, yielding a crop offered for sale at local farmers markets. The property also has ornamental gardens under development and all horticultural pursuits have been conducted chemical free for the past ten years. Extensive mulching, organic fertilizers, worm farming and recycling are all used as restorative practices to improve the soil and plantings over time. There is a swimming pond for cooling off when the weather's very hot. Trentham has a supermarket, two hotels, great cafes, a neighbourhood centre, library, tennis courts, public pool, primary school and oval. All within an easy walk. I have two slightly boisterous, (but not big) dogs.

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

I'm really interested in self-sufficient, permaculture, or some way to live with animals and nature. In this modern era, we even don't know where the food we eat every day comes from. We just go to a supermarket, buying some packed foods and consume them, then throw away many plastic. I don't know how a farmer grow vegetables, picking/packing, transporting to the market. I don't know how to milk a cow, how to kill pigs, how many people are related to transport these products and determine the market price. I feel this is crazy. I want to know and experience how foods I consume every day are produced and come to the table. I often search how to start self-sufficient life, wondering how to do, and found the best way is to learn from people who realise the self-sufficient life. There're several work exchange sites to provide similar service to WWOOF like Helpx, Workaway, and I'm also interested in such services because cultural exchanges is also very attractive. However, my main purpose is to learn how to realise the self-sufficient life, permaculture or any sustainable way of life. WWOOF is the best work exchange sites to connect with the host.

I want to join WWOOF because I’m really interested in learning more about sustainable and regenerative ways of living. I enjoy working outdoors, being close to nature, and helping with practical tasks, so the idea of supporting farms and learning directly from experienced hosts feels like the perfect fit for me. I also love the cultural exchange aspect. Staying with local people, experiencing daily life on a farm, and being part of a community—these are things that really excite me. I want to gain new skills, meet inspiring people, and understand different approaches to farming, gardening, and living more simply and responsibly.

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.

I'm joining WWOOF this summer because I want to do something productive and try out different experiences before starting my academic year. I specifically want to learn practical skills, experience the daily farm routine, and contribute my time and effort to your sustainable environment. I am excited to work, and I look forward to hearing about how I can assist you this summer!

We are in Australia on a working holiday visa and will be starting the cherry season at the end of November. In the meantime, we want to discover other production models through woofing. I've already had the chance to do this in France and loved it. In our opinion, it's the best way to discover a country, meet people, and learn new things.

I joined WWOOF because I believe it is an amazing way to learn and connect to people who have a passion for what they do! I hope that I can help others accomplish their organic farming dreams!

Located in Old Beach, approximately 25 minutes from Hobart, our hobby farm offers a tranquil retreat where you can experience the best of rural living with convenient access to the city. Having relocated here seven years ago, we have cultivated a sustainable garden that is a haven for native birds and is supporting our busy beehives. All hard work has been done and the focus now is on maintenance, improving the soil quality and enjoying the ever changing colours of happy plants. We are passionate about organic gardening and uphold a commitment to sustainable living practices. Our location is close to stunning national parks, while also only 25 minutes from Hobart's vibrant cafes and dining scene, including the renowned MONA art museum, just 20 minutes away. Guests are accommodated in a spacious, comfortable bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, WiFi, and access to a living area equipped with a large TV and Netflix. We enjoy sharing our love of food and invite visitors to join us in preparing homemade, nutritious meals using fresh produce from our garden. Additionally, we are delighted to show off some of the most beautiful regions in southern Tasmania, ensuring an enriching and memorable stay.

We joined WWOOFing Australia because we want to dive deeper into the country’s nature, wildlife, and everyday way of life. Both of us are passionate about animals, birds, and local ecosystems, and WWOOFing feels like the perfect way to learn more about the Australian fauna and flora while helping people who live close to nature. We also love speaking English and want to improve even more by meeting locals, sharing conversations, and understanding how Australians live, work, and think. For us, WWOOFing is a chance to connect with hosts, discover their projects, and learn new skills in a more authentic environment. We’re excited to explore different regions at a slower pace and be part of meaningful projects!

Come to Kongwak, the 'Valley of Peace', where over the last 20 years I have created a thriving permaculture garden on less than 2 acres, which provides our family and local community with fresh, organic produce and plants. I have also set up a small nursery In our little town, where we propagate and sell a range of native, indigenous, permaculture and edible plants and produce. The nursery is based at the popular Kongwak Market, where I have also established a community garden called the Secret Garden, where I run regular workshops about permaculture, composting, medicinal plants etc. Kongwak is a beautiful little village in the heart of South Gippsland, only 15mins from Korumburra, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and lovely beaches. We are about half an hour to Phiilip Island and one & a half hours to the magnificent Wilson's Promontory. We can provide accommodation to singles, couples or small groups of friends. We currently have a small dog & some chickens. Short and long term stays welcome!

As we said in our description, after spending some time in cities, we really want to live experiences closer to nature. We also had to take jobs in the last few years that weren't totally exciting, so it would really nice to work in a place that means something to us. We love working outdoor and discovring new learnings. If we can work with our hands for concrete results, and all that with trees and animals around us, we will be in paradise !

Well, I want to transition to another kind of lifestyle. I want to quit the city at some point and be part of a more sustainable and connected environment. Or that's what I believe, but the truth is I haven't tried it yet.. Before quitting everything, I want to learn about permaculture and get my hands dirty. I would love to meet people leaving in an alternative way, learn from them and see how I feel.

I enjoy being outdoors and want to learn more about it and how nature works - especially in Australia, where so much is new for me. That's why I want to try WOOFing. I'm also interested in cultural exchange. Although I grew up on a farm with cows, my knowledge about is rather basic. I'm really looking forward to expanding my knowledge of nature and farming.

I wanted to experience farming while I’m still young and full of energy. As a university student, this is probably the only time I can take a long break like two months. Since I have this opportunity, I thought it would be meaningful to spend time abroad. Studying at a language school is great, but I believe living with a host family through WWOOF gives me a more real and deeper sense of the local culture and lifestyle. Also, it’s a more affordable and personal way to learn.

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.
