I want to learn more practical skills about organic farming and the (often elusive) aspects of the natural world, and meet more people who share those values.

We run miniature belted Galloway cattle on 3 properties (Georges creek, Tallangatta & Sandy Creek) in a very scenic pristine beautiful quiet location in North East victoria.  Close to Tallangatta township with supermarket & other facilities. Our main property consists of 150 acres overlooking Lake Hume, made up of grazing land & bushland. Livestock incl a traditional Belted Galloway cattle stud, Wiltshire Horn sheep & rare poultry breeds. We are very relaxed & easy-going, meals will be with the family of 6 (4 children, aged 6-17) so you will be part of our family. You will experience many things such as cutting firewood, fencing, animal husbandry, growing vegetables & fruit, showing cattle, etc.  Accommodation is in a cozy caravan beside our home, with wireless internet and mobile phone reception. We can pick you up and drop off from Wodonga train station or Albury train/bus station or Albury airport. Recreation activities in the area include fishing, kayaking lake and rivers, bush walking, bike riding on rail trail.

I just want to spend some time in nature and learn about some organic/ sustainable farming. Growing vegetables, fruits, helping with the animals. Basically helping in whatever they need and learning as much as I can. I have previously done woofing in Italy and I really enjoyed it so wanted to try it in Australia.

We both have a genuine interest in organic living and sustainable living. With the plan to one day have a farm of our own, we would love to take the opportunity to learn from real farmers and learn the proper way of maintaining and harvesting the land and taking care of livestock.

I joined WWOOF through American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) and I am interested in learning about life on Australian organic and permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. I am hard working and willing to learn.

I wanted to help lend a hand and feel useful to the community and broaden my horizons. I'd also like to visit new places in Australia and thought this would be a great way to do it.

To learn about how to grow great food and to get back to the original and most necessary processes that I believe are integral to basic standard of health and well-being.

I would like to learn about organic farming and the local life in Australia. I was a Wwoofer in 2015 in New Zealand and stayed for one week with a family. I did some gardening, weeding, animal care and played with the kids. I really enjoyed the because because for me it is the best option to meet locals and learn from their lifes. Before I will start my next job in Germany, I want to clear my mind and regain new energy with a stay on a farm in Australia. This year we would like to start planting our own veggies and fruits in Germany and I hope I will return back to Germany with more experience and useful advices.

Our farm is in a beautiful valley called Goldie, just east of Lancefield in the Macedon Ranges. We are near Wilimee Mooring, an Indigenous green stone quarry and one of the oldest in the world. Our farm is 70 acres; half bush and the other half olive grove, veggie garden, chook pen, creek regeneration, paddocks, house and dams. Melbourne is just over an hour away.

I joined WWOOF because I would like to meet new people and experiences the real Australia. I would like to see more of Australia than just hostels and meet people except other German backpackers. I love the live on a farm and I grew up in a small town in Germany. That’s my I would love to work on a real Australian farm and find out about all the adventures on a farm. I would love to experience the real farm life with all the advantages and disadvantages. Additionally I want to meet the an know the real Australian people. Furthermore I really want to do something good for the environment and support organic farms with my work. Maybe my effort can help to make I small different and help the people who live on the farm.

I joined WWOOF because: 1. I refuse to be just a normal tourist, running around, photographing things and rushing on. So I want to experience Australia from the australian point of view. 2. I want to learn new things and skills, whether farming practices or skills with tools or animals. I am just open to anything.

Even though I know exactly what kind of job I want to do, I don’t feel ready to start an independent working life in a city as big as Paris yet. I grew up in the suburbs, surrounded by nature, quietness and a breathable air. When I was a kid, I used to scout with my friends during week-ends and summer holidays. We camped and hiked in the forests and the mountains, crossed small rivers, farms or fields as far as the eye could see. Discovery, adventure, nature, surpassing oneself, those are the words that truly define my scout experience. I always knew I'd need to go back to those kinds of experience in the future. So here I am, doing a gap year between my last two final years of study so I could experience wwoofing in Australia. It’s an opportunity for me to take a break from this predefined pattern of student and professional life in order to reflect and to refocus on what I'm ready to do. Discovering Australia has always been one of my dreams. I look forward to arriving in this country with so many beautiful diverse landscapes. I believe that wwoofing is the best way to be fully immersed in Australian life and culture, meet new people and improve my English.
