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.

We live on 176 acres purchased in 1975, situated at the end of a valley and the end of the road. Chinaman’s Creek begins on the property. We follow organic & permaculture principles. Work varies with what we are doing and can include gardening, pruning, weeding, fencing, shed building, animal care of horses cats & dogs, renovations, fencing. Varied accommodation for up to 4 people in our caravan, shed, or BYO. Children b.a. Vegetarian meals. Prefer non-smokers but smoking OK outside with restrictions. Negotiable stays after initial visit, but ideally, we would like someone, perhaps a single, a couple or a family to be long term for awhile.

I am currently on a study abroad program through my university where we travel all around Australia and Tasmania and I am looking for a way to continue to explore the country in a new way after the program ends. I love to be outside and want to explore some of the more rural areas. I have worked on a few ranches before and want to see what the farming community is like in Australia and learn about different farming practices.

I would love to connect with Earth again while taking a break from the outside world. To connect with new people and continue expanding in this life. Consciousness has shifted and changed so much since 2020. I am eager to meet and connect with humans who support the creation of a New Earth

I have a small two Acre block with an olive grove. My property is just a little walk from town and near the Gippsland plains rail trail. I love cycling, travelling and as a horticulturist - organic care for plants and the environment.

To gain new experiences with people and see how they live. Connect to the land I’m on.

1. to improve my English skill I've been in Australia since last August, aiming to improve my English. It has been half year since I came here, and I am confident with my English skill but not enough. I thougt it was important to state myself in compretely English environment. 2. to experience Australian farm I have been studied about livestocks for 4years, even stayed at some japanese farm when I was college student. I am simply curious what is Australian farm like, and want to experience the local life.

The reason I participated in Wwoof is because I was attracted to the Australian people, culture, and way of thinking when I visited Melbourne, Australia last year, and I wanted to learn more about them. Also, although I come from Japan, my parents run a farm and I helped out when I was little, so it's a field that I'm very familiar with and would like to learn more about.

My aim is to see as many parts of the east coast as possible, making stops along the way, where I can see cool parts of Australia and stay, in exchange lending my time.

Originally, I wanted to experience farm life. This is because, for me, nurturing living things is something that makes me happier than being in contact with digital devices. In addition, I also had a desire to go to Australia and live in the great outdoors, so I registered with WHOOF.

I joined WWOOF because I desire to learn more about different agricultural practices and implement them in my home country, I wish to then teach them to my family, put them to the test and propagate all this new knowledge I'll obtain along the way. I also believe this is a far better method to connect with the local culture, as one is capable of creating a more genuine bond with people, and of course because I want to explore this wonderful country that Australia is!

We are both very interested and passionate about regenerative farming and keen to learn. Kitty sees regenerative farming as her future and Elizabeth wants to go into conservation with an additional focus on re-wilding.

Through woofing I hope to improve my English and meet new people. My goal is also to start my trip to Australia by woofing to acclimate to the country.

I've been riding for 10 years and I'd like to fulfill my childhood dream of working with animals or at least in nature. I'd also like to try my hand at handicrafts. i'd like to meet new people and discover australian culture (and live away from a computer).

My property, Murnong Willum, has a solar passive house/composting toilet/solar hot water, made from recycled material, centre courtyard garden (rainforest bush foods), internal vegie garden. Native rainforest, exotic orchard, yabbie pond. In my spare time I like to do pencil & pastel art work. I have been doing Permaculture for 30 years and would love to teach anyone who wants to learn about this and Sustainability Living. Volunteering includes: gardening, propagating bush foods, watering and just general maintenance, if you are handy with a hammer that would be a bonus. Also some house cleaning if weather not suitable to go outside. Meals:  I'm told I am a very good cook, I like to do lots of stir fries, Mixed diet. I will take you on a trip around the Island at the end of your stay no worries How to get here: Catch a V/Line bus to Sunset Strip directly. Buy ticket to Cowes but ask the driver to let you off at Sunset Strip.

My main motivation is finding inspiration for the kind of life and home I would like to build for myself. I have WWOOFed on several farms and each experience taught me so much. About farming, life in general, but first and foremost about myself. I also enjoy meeting and getting to know new people and their ways of life.

I joined WWOOF because it combines my passion for connecting with people, learning new skills, and exploring different ways of life. It’s the perfect opportunity to deepen my appreciation for nature and sustainable living while meeting people from diverse cultures. I’m excited to gain hands-on experience, contribute to meaningful work, and be part of a movement that promotes a healthier, more sustainable world.
