300 Acre farm near Great Ocean Road. Rescue animals, dogs, horses, cows, chickens. Organic vegetables

  I am looking to extend my stay (WHV SUB417). Looking for hosts that are eligible for the 88 days. I love helping and feeling useful. Also seeking something different and learn new skills.

I want to join WWOOF because I’m eager to get my hands dirty and dive into sustainable farming! It’s the perfect way to connect with nature, meet awesome people from around the world, and have some fun adventures. I can’t wait to learn new skills and enjoy the simple joys of rural life!

As much as we love travelling and spending quality time as a family, we have really missed working and being apart of a community. After spending a couple of weeks in Biloela helping out on a cattle farm, we feel in our hearts that being rural, getting stuck into work and enjoying farm life is where we are happiest, which is why we wanted to join WWOOF! We feel that this will provide us with a sense of community, a sense of purpose outside of being parents, it will teach us new skills we hope to use when we own our own property one day (fingers crossed) and we know our son will flourish out in the fresh air with all of the animals!

I joined WWOOF to pursue my passion for organic farming while traveling and to meet new farmers around the world. I enjoy growing food and flowers and being outside. I love traveling and travel a lot for my work. Prior to attending the University of Texas at Austin I spent my senior year of high school studying abroad in a small town in southern Spain. I have also taught English in Japan for one year. I have been gardening for about 15 years and have volunteered at some farms here in Austin, Texas. I like manual and physical labor and being outside, so being able to do this in another country is a great opportunity.

I joined WWOOF because I am passionate about the environment and working with the land and on a farm. I am also looking to fufill my 88 days! I am currently traveling and exploring the world and I want a large part of that to be while experiencing farm work or other important environmental work! I hope to learn more about the land and farming practices while also learning more about myself and my working abilities. I am very hardworking and passionate. I hope to continue to grow my passions and experience new things.

We live on 100 Acre unique Ridge in the Northern Rives area in New South Wales. Totally Off the grid. Use Permaculture methods. close to Border range National park. Quiet  and peaceful environment. We are trying to live simple as possible and share our experiences and time with others as family. We are doing building renovation. House gardening, crafting, marking Actived hemp Charcoal. Fermentation, language exchange as our background is Japanese. We are also keen to become hemp farmer so it’s on processing now:)

I live half my life in the little village of Stratford in a fabulous Strawbale sustainable house with a highly productive permaculture garden and next to the Avon River. The other half of my life is spent in the seaside hamlet of Lake Tyers Beach where I am active in environment and arts focused community projects. In Stratford I have vegetable gardens & fruit trees in abundance. I am also active in community environment activities on the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail and Local Landcare. Work incl. garden construction and maintenance, growing food , preserving garden produce, as well as engagement in creative artistic & local environmental projects. Accomodation for 1 in my home. Couples by arrangement, No dogs and absolutely NO smokers. Mostly vegetarian diet. both Lake Tyers Beach and Stratford are on public transport routes from Melbourne/Sydney/Canberra & south coast of NSW.

We love to meet new people and acquire new skills. We love the idea of sharing experience especially with people from other countries and with different backgrounds. WWOOF looks like the best option to get in contact with the local reality across the Australia landscape that would be generally left aside from other travellers.

I previously had the experience of working on a farm in Uenomura, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It was there that I learned about WWOOF, and I decided to try it while traveling abroad. I believe it is important to grow what you eat, which sparked my interest in agriculture. Among various agricultural practices, I am particularly interested in production methods that do not rely on chemical fertilizers, and when I start my own farming, I want to challenge myself to use natural methods, so I hope to learn as much as I can. Additionally, since WWOOF offers the opportunity to experience agriculture in various parts of the world, I think it provides the perfect environment for me to experience both travel and farming. I am looking forward to experiencing different terrains, climates, and cultures that are unlike the environment I have lived in until now.

Im currently taking a break from m'y studies in psychology and I Also studied cooking . The Woofing expérience would be Amazing because I want to improve my english and live an Amazing expérience in nature with you !  I look forward to find an wonderful Host in Australia thanks

I joined WWOOF because it seemed like a good way to start my stay in Australia, to have the opportunity to meet people without spending too much money and doing new things!

I want to learn more about sustainable farming practises and land use. I love travelling and seeing new places and meeting new people but I am not good at being "on holiday", if you know what I mean. Staying and working on an unusual, innovative farm with open, welcoming people sounds like a wonderful time to me.

I like to travel, meet people and have new experiences. Working together with the people on the farm on projects for good nutrition, in balance with nature!

I want to gain new experience by seeing and experiencing Australia's natural environment and various plants and animals. And I want to enjoy my English skills and communication with new people

I joined to meet people who are as passionate about bush regeneration as I am! Over 7 years, I manually removed the introduced and invasive weed - buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) - from my 2.5 acre Land for Wildlife (LFW) bush block in the central desert. It was rewarding seeing so many native plants sprout in the areas that buffel once grew! I enjoyed it so much that I started my own "buffel busting" business and dug out buffel grass from other LFW blocks, as well as helped environmental/land management groups remove it from riverbeds, crown lands, botanic gardens, ephemeral wetlands/claypans and other areas in the central desert. I also have extensive experience with removing these weeds from land in south-east Queensland and northern NSW: - Cobbler's pegs (Bidens pilosa) - Fireweed (Senecio madagascariensis) - Morning glory - purple (Ipomoea indica) - including thick infestations in creeks and vines wrapped around shrubs & trees Now that I’ve retired, I have more time & energy, as well as the skills & experience to help others regenerate and rehabilitate their land. For the last six months of 2024, I was a live-in volunteer at a retreat/meditation centre on a 2.5 acre LFW property in the central desert.

I've been living in central Melbourne from the beginning of my stay in Australia. Now I feel like that I know about very little part of this country. I want to spend my time in different situations.

I am very keen to work with animals, particularly their rehabilitation. I have been very busy and now excited for a little reset. I am wanting to use this time to learn as much as I can about wildlife and excited by the idea of helping around a farm, helping with vegetation.

I arrived in Australia under a working holiday visa and am looking to fulfill my 88 work requirement. I also want to see more of the country and wwolfing seems like a great way to do that!

I decided to join WWOOF because I thought it would be a great opportunity to work on farms, take care of animals, connect with nature, and learn more. I found out about WWOOF while looking for a farm to get my second visa. I have always loved nature and animals and have had the chance to be around them since I was a child. I was interested in learning more about it in a more specialized way, so I thought this would be a great opportunity.
