As I mentioned earlier, I’ve fallen in love with Australia so much, so I decided to extend my Working Holiday visa. I wanted to find a way to contribute something meaningful to this country as part of the extension process. While many people choose to work on farms or in factories in the primary industry to meet the visa requirements—which I understand can be meaningful in its own way—I was hoping to do something even more rewarding and memorable, something that would feel meaningful both for myself and for Australia. The idea of living with a local host family also felt really special to me. I became particularly interested in WWOOF after a Japanese friend, who is currently doing WWOOFing, highly recommended it and shared how much she enjoys the experience.

I want to get hands on practical experience and learning on a range of different farms to help orient my future career. I work in climate strategy and understand how fundamental the way we produce and consume food is to being resilient into the future, and want to be part of bringing about change to the way we do this that allows us to improve soil and nourish people. I want to learn and absorb it all to understand the contexts of different growing, what works and what doesn’t, how different approaches are being sought. I’m very excited that I’m taking this time to learn and grow in the area that sets my heart on fire.

I joined WWOOF to connect to hosts and fellow travellers, immerse myself in different cultures, and experience everyday life in a hands-on, meaningful way. I look forward to meeting people from around the world, building genuine friendships, and gaining a deeper understanding of their culture and lifestyle. I am excited to contribute, learn new skills, and grow through shared experiences.

Organically certified farm and plant Nursery, we have a large Community farm , walking distance to town, shops and Pub

I joined WWOOF to learn about australia, outside of the big cities like melbourne. And work on improving my english, and just have a good time. I hope to find a place where i can learn about BIO-based building materials and how they are being produced and used in Australia. But i am open for everything.

I left Sydney to get away from the city; I arrived into Byron and started applying for work; Had an interview for a housekeeping job at a hostel; Realised I really didn't want to do that and just wished to be out in the Bush, living the simple life, enjoying what Australia truly has to offer. WWOOF! Lightbulb moment. It is amazing to see so many hosts and I'd love to help out over winter.

The true is money is important and I need to save more. I've try to find a job with animals like working in dairy farm or cattle station, but only few reply and no one accept me. Maybe it's because I don't have any experience with working with animals. So I need someone can accept me with no experience.

WWOOF gives us the opportunity to get in touch with the authentic life of an Australian family. We are interested in doing new things, learning about farming and get closer to the nature.

We are close to the ocean and beaches, we have some wonderful State and National Parks, natural reserves and bushland nearby. We live on 13 ac on the edge of the township of Koroit Victoria Australia, we have chickens, 2 whippet dogs, a cat and 7 horses. We have a spare bedroom and separate bathroom, WiFi, and we share the kitchen.

I want to experience Australia, traveling mixed with work. i think my "about me" hopefully should explain why it interests me as a person. i really hope to get some work for a short while, when im in Australia. There will be advantages for the host as well as for me since it most times is free acomidation.

Tom has WWOOFed in Australia and New Zealand before, and we know that this is the way we want to experience our travels. We want to be able to explore roads less travelled while having a positive impact, meeting new people, and learning new skills. The experience that we're looking to gain is all with a view to inform our future, living a low-impact life, being in touch with our roots as custodians of nature. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you think we could be of help in your home! Can't wait to hear from you. Molly and Tom x

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.

When I stayed in New Zealand, one of roommates recommended wwoof, but I did not have opportunities to do so. So in Australia, I would like to participate in wooof and utilize my experiences of farm jobs.
