I joined WWOOF because I loved the WWOOF experiences I had in New Zealand and I'd like to do it again in Australia.

I have an urge to break free right now and see what else there is in this world. Also I need to leave my comfort zone and especially my home town during winter time. Plus I enjoy being and working outdoors, when its warm enough anyway.

We live in our owner built strawbale house on 12 acres in Gold Coast hinterland. Was an overgrown neglected piece of land that we are turning into our little bit of paradise! Have veggies, aquaponics, fruit trees and a small menagerie of animals.

High in the hills near Nimbin - Also in Byron Bay near the beach. (scenic drive from Byron to the holiday home in the hills to work). Gardens - trees - wild food -  watering , weeding, planting , mulching. Volunteering is 3 to 4 hours per day Outside or inside. (or if more one day less the next.) Some sharing of food preparation for main meal - or cooking if you like cooking. Couples most welcome. Own bathroom. Executive bedroom.

“Millpost” is a 2700 acre wool growing property 30km east of Canberra. We have been implementing aspects of permaculture design since 1979. We mostly run merino sheep but also some poultry, house cows, sheep dogs, and cats. We grow much of our vegetables and have a nursery of trees for planting on the farm. Millpost is a beautiful part of the Southern Tablelands, with rolling hills, Box woodlands, native grasslands and some great creeks and dams to swim in. We sit next to Kowen Forest, a popular destination for it’s mountain bike trails, river, history and Molonglo Gorge. Other attractions include our old lime kiln and aboriginal axe quarry. WWOOFers are included in all work on the farm and could be gardening, planting, working with sheep, fencing, building, whatever we are doing at the time.

Uncanny Valley is a beautiful 10 acre semi-rural property, incorporating permaculture design principles to promote the regeneration of native flora and using organic methods to grow fruit and vegetables.

I did WWOOF last time i traveled Australia and had so many good experiences. I love to work outside, especially with animals. Last time I joined WWOOF I had a stay at a alpaca farm, at a horse property, at a big property with lot of gardening,....

WWoofing is the best way for me to get to know the country and the different lifestyles and areas of work authentically. I am interested in meeting Australia and its people outside of tourism and look forward to additional support with my work. Since I have just finished school, I hope to find new inspiration and interests on my journey.

We own a small organic flower farm, 5 minutes drive from Yass and 45 minutes from Canberra. Yass is an eligible regional area for 491 Visa. We have set up vegetable and cut flower gardens, fruit and berry orchards and Aylwen sells preserves, flowers and dried herbs at local farmers markets in Yass, Murrumbateman, Hall and Canberra. In the cooler months we are planting seedlings, cooking up fruit & vegetables and Aylwen is sewing hats to sell at markets. There's always something for everyone to do and outings to go on. There is a bus stop nearby if travelling to Canberra and trains for travel further afield. We drive in to Canberra often and happy to give you a lift.

In this trip I want to meet new people, enrich myself with new experiences, discover the country thanks to... volunteer missions! I have already been on a mission to South Africa, to a rehabilitation centre for animals. I am looking to find a mission close to nature, the environment, like permaculture, the farm but not only I am very open and looking for many different proposals!

I started with a pioneering spirit, dug the stump holes, planted the trees. Over a decade on, I have created spaces I wish to share and explore more.

We’ll be able to fulfil a big dream of ours in the next couple of months, which is to stay for a lengthy period of time in our favourite country, Australia. Of course, travelling to different places will be a huge highlight. However, we also would like to use the first couple of months to do something different. We both really love the idea of being around and staying with locals for a while, learning about their lives and becoming part of their community, even if it’s just for a couple of weeks. It would also allow us to use and brush up our English as much as possible, which would be a really nice plus for us. Well, and the Woofer program seems to offer a great opportunity for exactly that.

I’m joining WWOOF because I’m looking forward to learn about different stuff, in the environment, agriculture, sustainable practices… scope, through working on it with experienced people. I really want to be somebody useful and reliable for my host, and I hope to they learn from me and I learn from them. I also joined WWOOF because I think it’s a great idea to visit a country without spending so much money, and also having a good impact on it.   

I'm joining for find opportunity to explore and live in a remote area of Australia. Help people with their duties and learn from them and their culture. I'm highly interested in permaculture and animal breeding.

Great way to make new friends.  Looking for work on the land.  Wanting to meet new people and make a long lasting connection.
