I am an artist and live in a large suburban home on the corner of a main road. There are 4 people living here at the moment (2 tenants, my adult son and myself). I work as a freelance artist with ongoing deadlines, and also spend every evening with my 101 year old mother (who lives across the road in an Aged Care facility).  With all this, I am very time-poor, and most meals are seperate due to my unconventional hours. But I am very happy for you to cook or join me when I’m having a meal 🙂 You need to be able to work unsupervised and have an open mind, and be prepared for a different experience as it is not the typical wwoofing framework. Volunteering includes help with vegetable garden (weeding, composting, planting, mulching, watering plants) and general gardening, odd jobs around the house and help with various art projects. Also, on nice days I would appreciate if you could sometimes take my mother out into the sunshine). Accommodation is for 1 or 2 people in guest room or cosy converted garage. Mixed diet. The work hours =  4 hours a day (with flexibility), with one or two days off a week. After working you are very welcome to spend time exploring the city which is a half an hour train ride. There is a local pool, cafés and shopping centres nearby. Life in our household is calm and relaxed and suits those who enjoy peace and quiet. 10 minute walk to train station and 25 min train ride to city. Cannot take WWOOFers from May - October.

I wanted to experience Australia and with my skills from my education from home I wanted to work and help with build where is needed. And make new skills by working with something else. I want to meet new people and experience different cultures. And enjoy the nature.

I want to learn about farming, taking a break from the citylife. I think this is a great way to get away, and learn more about different cultures and work styles, and meet new people.

To get some new experiences and som knowledge about farm work and the lifestyle. I love nature and want to learn more about plants and animals and how to navigate a life in the bush. I hope to learn something new and become a better person true to nature and what we are here for.

MOUNT MITCHELL is an historic farm in the central Victoria. Primarily we are a working farm, breeding sheep for both wool and meat, and growing some crops. The homestead and gardens create a beautiful space for events. We host weddings, group tours and open garden days on occasions. We endorse the paddock to plate concept and have an extensive vegetable garden and orchard. WWOOFer volunteering includes mowing, gardening, hedge trimming, sheep work, fencing, wood splitting, looking after farm animals & pets, machinery maintenance, painting, building & general farm and house maintenance. WWOOFers are accommodated in their own residence on the property. Some shared meals, or food provided to prepare your own meals. Prefer WWOOFers with stamina who are physically strong and fit. Extended stays are negotiable.

Heartwood Farm is a 7 acre property at Newrybar in the Byron Bay Hinterland. The farm includes a mixed orchard, an intensive market garden, pasture, and a rainforest revegetation project, all managed organically. WWOOFers will be exposed to the techniques of intensive organic fruit and vegetable production, including green manuring, composting, and crop rotation, along with rainforest regeneration. Heartwood is still in its development phase, so WWOOFers will also be exposed to a sustainability-focused design process emerging from landscape and climate observations of this unique location.

Welcome to our  hobby farm just outside Gloucester, NSW. We care for the land with sustainable, chemical- free practices, planting native trees for Koalas and tending goats, chickens and a veggie garden. Helpers enjoy staying in a cosy self-contained cabin.

We own a double block in Newport on Sydney’s northern beaches. Our little boy Roki has a severe brain injury. We embarked on a mission to grow all his food (he is tube fed) and turned the block into a permaculture yard. We need a lot of help to complete it. We have lived here for one year. We have views on Newport Beach and we’re a short walk from the beach. As I do all the caring and therapy on Roki my husband Dave is left with finishing the yard. There are a lot of jobs he cannot do by himself. He is a carpenter and very handy. We will be looking for someone to come for at least 4-6 weeks to help Dave make more garden beds, assist with the compost making, planting, building pergolas for all the grape vines we need to plant etc. We have an awesome vintage caravan on the yard that can be accomodation for people. We know it’s not s farm but it is our little farm!

I believe that joining WWOOF is a very good opportunity for me to experience new things such as farming to gain knowledge. Also, I like to meet new people and experience new culture. So, I decided to join WWOOF.

I recently moved to the Island. My vision is to grow an organic garden. My place is just Walking distance to Rocky Point where the bush meets the bay.

You will be sharing a two bedroom house with two mature adults. My home is a beautiful country style house known as a “Queenslander”.

Enjoy waking upto birds singing their morning songs, the breeze in the trees, and the sounds and smells of nature. Yet we are only 10 minutes from the shops and ferry terminal. Google Russell Island to find out how to travel here by car or train, bus and ferry.

My friend Nate and I are looking for something different. While we enjoy city life in America, we want to learn about sustainable living and expand our worldview. We want to spend more time outside, work on farming projects, and learn about agriculture. We're interest in gardening and animal agriculture, and are open to whatever projects you're working on!

Learn from families and people who live here, share greats moments and experiences, learn new things, skills. Make things that I never done before ! Be able to live like a local, explore around during my free time

I come from a very small village in Portugal so I´m used to doing some backyard gardening work and grew up surrounded by animals. I have decided to join WWOOF because I thought would be a good way of slowly integrating myself in a new country, a way of meeting people and have peace of mind to organise my next steps.

Hello, I have always been passionate about organic farming and sustainable living, which is one of the main reasons I'm drawn to Australia. Having spent 8 years there, I fell in love with its organic farming practices and beautiful natural landscapes. Back in Korea, I've gained experience in tourism and accommodation management, which has helped me develop strong organizational and interpersonal skills. As someone who values sustainable living, I am eager to learn about organic farming methods hands-on. While I may not have direct farming experience, I am physically fit, enthusiastic, and ready to fully immerse myself in farm life. Living in Australia has taught me to embrace new challenges and adapt quickly to different environments. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your farm while learning about sustainable agriculture. I believe my positive attitude, willingness to learn, and genuine interest in organic farming would make me a valuable member of your farm community. I look forward to not just working on the farm, but also experiencing the authentic Australian farming lifestyle and creating meaningful connections.

We joined WWOOF because we are two friends spending a gap year in Australia, and we want to experience the country in a genuine and meaningful way. Both of us are passionate about nature, sustainability and learning through hands-on experiences. We believe that WWOOFing is the perfect opportunity to understand more about organic farming, eco-friendly living and rural life while meeting inspiring people along the way. We love the idea of connecting with local hosts, sharing stories and becoming part of everyday farm life instead of just being tourists. We want to learn how to care for plants and animals, work with the land and live in harmony with nature. Through this Experience we hope to gain new skills, grow personally and contribute positively to the communities that welcome us. For us, WWOOF is not only about traveling but also about friendship, cultural exchange, and living simply while appreciating the beauty of Austrlia.

I did the first part of my trip in Melbourne and now I'm aiming to do a road trip with my car from Sydney to Perth, and the reason I'm joining WWOOF is precisely to enrich this road trip (new cultures, new jobs, new people).
