Our property is situated in Geeveston in the Huon Valley. Our 70acre property/farm sanctuary is close to great bush walks and within walking distance to town and buses to Hobart. We rescue and look after a menagerie of animals. At this point we have: chickens, roosters, ducks, pigs, alpacas, goats, sheep, ponies, geese and cows. We are in the process of establishing our property on permaculture principles, and regenerating the land so we can look after more animals in need. Accommodation is seperate from our home and includes: 3 bedrooms, all sharing a kitchen, loungeroom, 2 toilets and 2 showers (one with a bath). We have dinner together most week nights and you cook your own on the weekends.

We see WWOOFing as a transformative opportunity to deepen our understanding of organic farming, make meaningful contributions to sustainable agriculture, and build connections with inspiring hosts and fellow volunteers. We are excited about the prospect of learning from experienced hosts and sharing our passion for sustainable living.

Three Gullies is a productive regenerative farm, producing beef and lamb, situated on Fairy Meadow Creek, on the foothills of Mount Fairy. We apply permaculture design principles in paddock and landscape design, with the goal of improving ecological services across the land scape. Three Gullies complements the application of these principles by applying holistic grazing as described by Allan Savory. There are six quality of life statements that are part of the Three Gullies Holistic Context and associated decision-making tools. All decisions to undertake activities or ventures at Three Gullies must align within this context. This is the tool we use to ensure value alignment and matching work ethic.

I am a 66-year-old living on a scenic farmlet of 22 acres located 12 kilometres west of Lakes Entrance. With a large garden that encompasses vegetables, herbs, berries, an olive grove, and an orchard; it is a haven for a huge variety of native birds. I also have about a dozen hens, a rather noisy rooster, an aging horse, a dog and, at times, some neighbour’s sheep. Work varies from helping in the gardens/orchard, planting/harvesting the vegetables, wood chopping, weed control using non chemical methods and odd jobs. I do not actually practise permaculture but make my own compost and soil.  At one end of the property is a bush gully that abounds with local wildflowers and native animals; this is a corridor between the State Forest and the wetlands on the edge of the Gippsland Lakes. Being located near the Lakes also means it is close to the Ninety Mile Beach.

Because i found a host via a friend, so that's why i'm making an account! I have been in contact with the host, and she adviced me to make an account on WWoof Australia.

We joined WWOOF to experience the real Australia by living and working with locals. We want to learn new skills, discover sustainable lifestyles, and connect with people along the way. We are travelling on a tight budget, so WWOOFing also helps us with accommodation while allowing us to contribute and learn in return. It’s the perfect way for us to live meaningful experiences, share good moments, and grow during our journey.

On this WWOOFING journey I wish to achieve growth. I wish to learn by others before me and experience different lifestyles. I intend to learn about agriculture, fermentation, animals, farming, plant farming, anything related to an earthy lifestyle I am here to learn more about and experience. I hope to meet new people, stumble upon unexpected guidance, laugh with strangers, laugh with new found friends. I hope to tell peoples stories through photography, or document how the farming, outdoors lifestyle feels and what one might seek within. I hope to grow. My intention for this journey is to be open, say yes to opportunities, explore, connect, learn, be with myself in silence, allow myself to get to know myself in a new environment, around and with new people of a different cultures, beliefs and ideologies. I am excited to spend time outside, helping someone manage their farm, being away from my phone and be here now. I enjoy yoga, but this is for me a chance to explore the means of meditation and being here now, in this experience. I have been blessed before with trust from a host, and I cant wait to get to know even more people, and this time truly be able to give back with love for their farm in any shape or from. I have grown up with dogs and feel connected to animals on every level. Just as much as trees haha. This past year our family dog passed and thus we had to find a new home for our young husky. I am so happy we found a great home for her, but it has been empty without any animals at home. So I am looking forward to hopefully be close to animals again and learn about the animal life on farms!

At 25, I’ve lived a few different lives in France, each one teaching me something valuable. Now, I’m ready for the next chapter, and it’s centered around a few key aspects: Social Aspect: For my personal balance and growth, I’m looking to build stronger social connections with people who share the same values as I do. Wwoofing really resonates with me – the respect for the environment, living in community, and being partly self-sufficient when it comes to energy and resources. It’s all about working and living in a way that’s meaningful and ethical, and I’m excited to be part of that. Professional Aspect and Lifestyle: The different experiences wwoofing offers will help shape my long-term goal of working directly with the land. I’m after something real and hands-on, closer to nature. I’m eager to pick up new skills, challenge myself, and get a feel for what goes into managing different types of farms and sustainable setups. It’s all about doing work that supports the preservation of ecosystems and stepping into the ecological and energy transition we need.

I joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

After 10+ years in the finance industry i felt like a change, it was not something i wanted to do for the next 10 years of my life. I have a passion for travelling and meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I have a strong interest now in becoming Self-sufficient as much as possible and living in communities. I left my company in January this year and have been living on an organic farm in Yeppoon, Woofing which has been great. I've developed a strong interest in learning more about permaculture, Bio-dynamics and syntropic farming. I'm now looking to increase my knowledge in these areas by visiting different farms/communities to learn more. I had never heard of Woofing before this year and it's opened my eyes to a whole new world. I feel the idea of Woofing's is incredible as I've realized in my few months on this farm the amount of work that's put in. looking forward to the next adventure.

Here is 5 reasons why we want to do Woofing 1. Discovery of local culture:Woofing allows us to live with Australian families and share their way of life, cuisine, and traditions, providing an authentic cultural experience. 2. Practice English: Since Australia is an English-speaking country, Woofing is an excellent opportunity to improve our English by using it daily. 3. Connection with nature: Australia is renowned for its exceptional natural beauty. By participating in Woofing, we can work outdoors, explore local wildlife and flora, and contribute to environmental preservation. 4. Travel savings: Accommodation and food are typically provided in exchange for our work as Woofers, significantly reducing our travel expenses. 5. Agriculture expérience: we are interested in agriculture, gardening,and animal husbandry, Woofing offers us practical experience in these fields while allowing us to travel. All these advantages make Woofing in Australia a culturally and personally enriching experience for us.

I joined WWOOF because I thought it was a great opportunity to experience life abroad on my own, even as a student. Some of my friends had also participated and shared many wonderful stories that inspired me. I also love nature and breathtaking landscapes, so WWOOF felt like the perfect choice for me.

We have heard so many great things about WWOOFing and have always wanted to have an experience like this. We love learning new things, whether it be about culture, nature, or even about the lives of the people we meet. We love Australia and need to complete our 88 days, and figured, what better way to do it than this!

I want to join WWOOFing because I believe it’s the best way to experience Australia in a meaningful way. Traveling is not just about visiting places for me; it’s about connecting with people, learning new skills, and immersing myself in different lifestyles. I love the idea of giving a helping hand in exchange for a unique cultural experience. Whether it’s working outdoors, taking care of animals, or learning about sustainable living, I’m always eager to contribute and grow. This journey is also an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, challenge myself, and create unforgettable memories with great people. I look forward to meeting amazing hosts and sharing good times together 🙂

I joined WWOOF to hopefully gain some valuable experience in farming and develop greener thumbs. Since I’m 21 years old, I have some ideas about what I want to do in the future, but I always find it valuable to broaden my experiences. Apart from hospitality, I’ve worked with children at summer camp as a trusted adult, and I’ve also worked with elderly care. I hope to make some great memories, gain new ideas, and learn more about myself to figure out what I want to do in life.

I am a 29 year old woman currently living in Jan Juc. I currently live with 2 housemates and I have a dog named Coco who is a beautiful chocolate bits-a-everything. I am currently working as an inhome support worker. I have been on the SurfCoast Victoria for around 7 years and absolutely love everything that this environment provides me with. I am a keen surfer and just love everything about the outdoors and nature. I have studied permaculture and have a keen interested in organic farming and sustainability. I worked as a gardener and landscaper for about 12 months. This passion has become a lifestyle for me and now I am just looking for more hands on experiences to gain extra knowledge for myself and to pass onto others. I really hope to have my own organic farm one day so gathering as many experiences and learning as much as possible through others is the key to filling those hopes and dreams.

I joined WWOOF because I was looking for a short-term (volunteer)job in Australia. I have met so many people during my travel that were VERY enthusiastic about Australia so it got me really curious. I would love to learn more about farm work and gardening and to really be part of the Australian life.

I joined WWOOF because I am looking to extend my stay in Australia for my work and holiday visa as well as looking for volunteer oppourtunities not available where I am from.

We are a retired husband and wife team (Australian and Japanese respectively) living on a 10 acre former papaya plantation in lush tropical north Queensland. We are converting the property back to rainforest and food forest.
