I think wwoof is an amazing way to see the world, meet new people and connect more with nature. I also think it’s a great way of meeting the real locals of a country, because sometimes it’s hard to come in contact with the locals when your just visiting.

Serenity on Smiths Creek - A Thriving Permaculture Oasis Nestled in the picturesque Smiths Creek, Kyogle, our 100-acre property is a vibrant tribute to sustainable living and community building. Inspired by permaculture principles, we're creating a thriving ecosystem that showcases biodiversity and eco-friendly practices. Our Projects: Food Forest: Transforming a 2-acre orchard into a lush food forest, featuring an ornamental garden, raised vegetable and herb beds, and a stunning rose garden. Swales and Water Management: Collaborating with a seasoned permaculture expert, we've designed and implemented five swales in our back paddock, supporting our cattle agistment and sustainable water management. Eco-Friendly Campsites: Developing campsites along the creek, complete with a camp kitchen, amenities, and potentially an aircrete sauna.   Join Our Community: We're excited to share our vision with like-minded WWOOFers and collaborate on future initiatives. Come and be a part of our thriving permaculture community, and help us create a sustainable and regenerative oasis in the heart of Smiths Creek.

Id like to connect with other travelers as well as Australians through authentic experiences. I want to help but also learn about agriculture and buddhism for example. I think an experience like this will allow me to get to know different aspects of the world in a much more detailed ways then any other.

As a solo traveller, I am looking to connect with locals and meet a community of like-minded people. As someone interested in food and cooking, I am also concerned with food production, ethical consumption, and sustainability. I am always looking to broaden my horizons and since I have been interested in environmental issues, sustainable farming and wildlife conservation for a long time, I would love to gain hands-on experiences and learn more about one or more of those topics through Wwoofing. I am very outgoing, enthusiastic and always open to new challenges and adventures!

I would love to volunteer my work in a space that I appreciate and adds to my overall wellbeing. Having some housing and food added to the mix sounds like a great deal to me.

Parece que você está expressando o quanto aproveitou seu tempo na Austrália porque se sente verdadeiramente grato pelas experiências que teve lá. Sua apreciação pelo país provavelmente decorre das oportunidades únicas que você encontrou — seja a chance de trabalhar com práticas agrícolas inovadoras como aquaponia e cultivo de cogumelos, operar maquinário interessante ou simplesmente mergulhar no estilo de vida australiano. Sua gratidão também pode ser influenciada pelo ambiente acolhedor e pela chance de se conectar com outras pessoas que compartilham suas paixões. Todos esses elementos combinados criam uma experiência gratificante, que naturalmente leva a um profundo senso de prazer e gratidão.  

I used to watch a lot of western when I was a kid. For now I have had a woofing experience in Colorado, and enjoyed it ! Roger taught me to raise vegetables, drive a pick-up, paint a porch, watch a dog work with the sheep, planting poles, take off stones from a dry land, selling goods at a local market. I had the pleasure of discovering Georges Jones, Hank Williams and many other artists, tasting some real branded american donuts, and go to Walmart. I want to learn more about farming and ranching, I'm attracted by this kind of life.

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.

I joined WWOOF Australia in order to have access to enriching volunteer experiences in Australia. Having done many workaways in Europe and New Zealand, I wanted to expand my access to farms and communities where I can be of service while endlessly learning.

One of my dreams is to live a self-sufficient life. Therefore, I want to gain experience by living on a farm. I love nature and animals, and I will do my best, no matter what I pursue!

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

I am joining WWOOF to become apart of a community of hardworking and adventure driven individuals. I love meeting new people and learning from their experiences. I think that every individual has a story to tell and there is extreme value in learning as many stories as possible. Not only does WWOOF allow me to meet and immerse myself in a life perspective different than my own, but it also will allow me to get my hands dirty and learn new skill sets. I look forward to stepping out of my comfort zone and taking as much from this experience as possible.

I decided to join WWOOF because I wanted to have a more meaningful and hands-on experience during my time in Australia. I am passionate about sustainable living and interested in learning more about farming practices. WWOOF provides a unique opportunity to connect with local communities, learn directly from farmers, and contribute to environmental stewardship. Beyond the practical skills, I also value the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds, share cultural experiences, and immerse myself in a lifestyle that promotes respect for nature. I believe that working on a farm will give me a deeper understanding of sustainable agriculture, while also allowing me to enjoy the simplicity and fulfillment that comes with working close to the land. In essence, I joined WWOOF to grow personally, contribute positively to the environment, and connect with like-minded people who share similar values about living in harmony with nature.

I would like to meet new people, learn from them and improve my English. I think that is the perfect way to connect with people! I’m open minded and I like to learn from others.

I joined WWOOF to be able to find accommodation in Australia together with Aussies because I am curious to find out about Australian daily lives. And while I wouldn't say I enjoy farm or garden work extremely I do find it appealing: For one because it is outdoor work and I want to enjoy the Australian sun while I am there, even though it technically is the same as the German and the Australian flora and fauna. Secondly, I hope to find it nostalgic because I used to help my grandfather (Hungarian side) with his farm work when I was little kid in a village outside of Budapest.

I used to work as an engineer about four and a half years. But recently I have recently developed sense of urgency regarding environment issues.This realization has led me to want to dedicate my career to addressing the needs of those who are disproportionately affected by environmental and social challenges.

I joined WWOOF because I would love to stay and work on a farm for a couple of weeks after traveling for quite a while. I would love to learn more about organic farming in Australia. Animal welfare is very important to me. I am hoping to learn new skills and jump into the real farmlife.

I am joining WWOOF because I would love to live in a western Australian family and to try myself how life is in a farm there. Getting inspired maybe for my future life. Learning, trying new skills, and meeting Australian people ! And I am so exciting about this idea !

I want to participate in WWOOF to deepen my exchange with people from different countries, including Australia, and use the experience to achieve something in Japan, which is becoming increasingly internationalized. We would also like to support those affected by the floods in and around Byronbay.

We want to join WWOOF because we’re really interested in experiencing farm work. It’s such a unique way to connect with nature, learn practical skills, and see how sustainable living works. Plus, being close to wildlife while working outdoors feels like an amazing adventure!
