We have 43 acres just 20 minutes from Bundaberg and 30 minutes from the coast. We practice permaculture and are in the early days of establishing our property - there's only so many hours in the day and we need helping hands! We are fully off grid and therefore independent with power (large solar and battery system) and water.  We have composting toilets and live in a tiny Queenslander that we relocated a couple of years ago. We are a vegetarian couple and will provide healthy vegetarian meals. If woofers would like to eat meat, they will have to purchase and cook it themselves. Dinner is a shared meal cooked by the host but breakfast and lunch are self prepared (in our kitchen with food provided by us). We provide a comfortable caravan with a queen size bed.  If friends require separate beds, this may be able to be arranged (subject to stay duration and timing).  Visitors will use the bathroom at the house, which is very close.  We have Starlink internet in the house and basic mobile service (Telstra) in the caravan. We have geese, ducks, chickens and dogs so woofers need to be confident with these animals. We also have cows but woofers will not be doing any cattle work. Primary work will be building vegetable gardens, mulching and fertilising the orchard, cleaning up gardens and swales, assisting with small construction jobs, animal husbandry, building chicken coops and planting natives for regenerative work. There will be no machinery use, this is done by the property owner. We are a married couple in our 50's and welcome people from all backgrounds.  We are very LGBTI+ friendly. No drugs, no smoking.  Moderate alcohol use is ok.

I have recently stopped working and would like to travel around the world meet new people and share new experience with host's and other travellers.  I have a 12 Month visa for Australia and would like to see as much of the county as I can. I am a friendly, relaxed and physically fit guy and I found WWOOF is a good way to promote good physical and mental health get to see some lovely locations and help people on the way.

I joined wwoof with hopes of giving back to the community i'm traveling to, getting to know those that inhabit the land around me, and hopefully educating myself further on all things natural!

Love meeting new people and trying new things! I've heard great things about the WWOOF experience and keen to have a break from teaching in 2025. Hoping to visit the Byron Bay area and make a contribution.

WWOOFing for me is about achieving a strong bond between me and my host and at the same time, between me and the land I'm being trusted to care for. To me it's all about the relationship and that can't be achieved in just a few days. When I go WWOOFing, I like to learn about the land and about my host. I like to listen, learn and explore. I like to spend time doing a job once and doing it properly. I want to stress again the importance of values alignment. I talk a lot about values because that's a good way to achieve compatibility.

One important thing is to learn more about farming and to get in contact with local people. If I can learn a few new things about planting, permaculture or working with animals I would be very thankful. Also I have to watch my money so WWOOFing is a good possibility for me to stay longer in Australia.

I joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

I am interested in the idea of exchanging labour for means of subsistence as proposed by WWOOF. I think it is good to be able to receive direct payment for my labour in the form of food, accommodation, etc. For me, this is more direct and exciting than a company paying wages. As an international student in Australia, I have always respected traditional culture and enjoyed being exposed to various cultures around the world. As a farmer, I also want to experience and learn about different ways of life. I like to help people and chat to different people.

After school finishes, I'm thinking about starting WWOOF from January next year. I don’t have any experience in farming, but I’m really interested in organic farming. I'm interested in learning how to grow and make healthy food. I'm also keen to know how Australian farmers live. In the future, I want to live a simple life, working in agriculture and doing massage therapy.

I’m passionate about animals and nature and have been wanting to try something different during my time off. Joining WWOOF feels like the perfect way to experience life on a farm, meet new people, and give back through volunteering. I’m also excited to learn new skills and explore more of Australia while connecting with like-minded people.

I see WWOOFing as a perfect opportunity to connect with locals as well as people from different countries and cultures while learning about new jobs, broadening my horizon about the world and traveling affordably. I like that WWOOFing fortifies the concept of striving for a sustainable way of producing goods/food and living because that is fundamental for the future of this world.

We joined WWOOF so that we could get the opportunity to meet people who require some extra help. As we’re travelling around Australia it will help us find somewhere to stay on our travels and in return we know we can provide our hard working ethic

I wanted to live with Australian people and do work related to agriculture. I'm interested in Australian life and working animal farm, so I think it is a good choice to help their farm while living with them. I also want to practice and improve my English language skills.

Not available Autumn and Winter. I live in Warburton about 75 kms east of Melbourne, in the beautiful Yarra Ranges. My property is just one acre, but I have a vegetable patch, 15 established fruit trees (12 of them citrus), blueberry bushes, various other berries and a range of Australian native trees and bushes attracting native birds.

I joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. I am a really open-minded person and think that WWOOF is a great oppurtunity to meet know people and get to know something about the actual life in australia - outside of the very touristy areas.

This human experience is wild and abundant and I am eager to lean into learning more about sustainable living and gaining primitive skills. I’ve been living off grid, in different communities and homesteads for the greater part of the last 6years. I am so passionate about this alternative lifestyle and the ways I’ve grown with it. So more is more and I will keep growing in this journey through wwoofing until the day comes and I set down my own roots.

This is because I want to experience a lifestyle closely related to agriculture and nature. Although I am currently living in an urban area, I am interested in sustainable living and food self-sufficiency in nature. I also want to experience local culture and values through interaction with local people. I would like to have the opportunity to deepen my connection with people and learn different ways of thinking and living not only through farm work but also through communal living. As a researcher of food and agricultural education, I would also like to play a role in communicating its value to those around me. As a first step toward this goal, I would like to learn and gain awareness in the real world through WWOOF activities.

I am keen to gain land management skills and learn about permaculture farming techniques, as I hope to one day have a permaculture farm and land of my own. I am passionate about living as sustainably as possible, and consuming little, and the best way to do that is to connect with community, grow your own food, and work together. I am hoping to get to know you, your community and family, your land and animals, and that we are able to teach each other new things. It is also a small dream of mine to document my travels and teach others via social media and/or blogging about the great places and communities that Australia has to offer, and why supporting local farmers and businesses is one of the most sustainable things you can do for the environment. Think Global, Act Local.
