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.

I’ve been interested in farming for a long time because my grandparents used to run a farm. When I was a child, I often helped them out with my cousins, and those moments became some of my most treasured childhood memories. Ever since I decided to go on a working holiday in Australia, WWOOFing has been one of my goals. There are three main reasons why I want to join: 1. I want to experience real farm life and reconnect with those childhood memories. 2. I’m eager to learn new skills and contribute through physical work—I find meaning in working with my hands. 3. I believe staying with local hosts will help me understand a new culture more deeply. Also, I hope to meet the requirements for a second working holiday visa by working for at least three months !

I joined WWOOFing to experience Australia more authentically, work outdoors, learn new skills, and meet new people. As a backpacker it’s a great way to start the WHV experience.

I want to enjoy Australian culture and life, which is different from Japan.  I want to apply what I learn to my future life.  

I am a member of WWOOF in the USA and Australia. I am excited to explore our world and visit your incredible country. I hope to continue to be of service and provide all manner of help where it is needed.

I saw this as an opportunity to possibly pick up a few new skills, bringing my hands on attitude and willingness to just get stuck in to any task. I currently have a month in NSW before I meet with a friend from home and we travel for the Lions rugby tour in July. I would love to utilise this time to get a more personal and cultural experience. Meanwhile, not be moving about every few days and get some time away from the cities as home to me is in the rural country and a smaller well connected town. I have relevant experience on farms as I previously wanted to study veterinary medicine so to gain experience I volunteered on a local farm during lambing season. Being heavily involved in the animal husbandry of sheep, goats, cattle, highland coos and birds. Alongside general farm maintenance, physical labour and finding small tasks to fill my days. It was an incredibly rewarding, hands on opportunity that grew my appreciation for farmers, the work they do and daily challenges they face to be sustainable. I would love to learn more about how agriculture compares to home, your experiences and assist on whatever tasks you need help with.

We have a small soldier settler farm 10km from Kalangadoo, 50km north west of Mt Gambier, SA and approx. 400km south east of Adelaide, SA. Pete’s family have lived / worked the farm for nearly 80 years. We currently background / finish fat composite lambs, irrigation and grow fodder for sale. Our farm consists of 260 acres of relatively flat land with some dams. There are many birds types and with such a natural environment, it is easy to sit and relax when not busy on the farm. We have future plans to upgrade our current pastures. Our 2 dogs, Scruffy is a 9yr old border collie and Basil an 18 month old kelpie. Both are working dogs and are good with all types of people. We have an ongoing vegetable garden and a large orchard area that can always do with some attention. There are small areas of flower garden which are currently being altered to permit easier maintenance. Our home is only 2 years old and WOOFers may choose from 2 rooms and will have a private bedroom with close by bathroom and will share the kitchen/lounge/other areas with Pete and myself, Kaye. Your role while at Moerdale will be assisting Pete with animal husbandry / irrigation and pasture care tasks, general assistance in gardens and help with household tasks. While staying with us, we will offer to take you with us on shopping trips and show you some of the tourist spots in our local region as time constraints permit. Come stay with us if you want a change from city life. We speak English and are happy to help you pick up Aussie lingo while with us. We prefer only 1 WOOFer on the farm at any time due to house size.

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’re a small off-grid organic farm and retreat in the Koonyum Range, Byron Shire. No chemicals—just clean food, nature, and simple living. We grow veggies, herbs, and fruit trees, using permaculture methods and natural practices. We welcome respectful, easy-going people who value nature, sustainability, and a peaceful lifestyle.

Farm in Mary Valley Queensland, we are setting up and establishing gardens, trees, relaxing recreation areas by creek, planting food forest and gardens. We are also breeding and showing of Andalusian horses, Azteca horses and Brahma Chickens. There are rolling hills, fantastic views of mountains, a creek and many hiking trails in nearby forest. We do equine therapy, training, and rehabilitation for horses in addition to making our own essential oils for therapeutic use and hoping to have an herbal garden created so all our oils are farm grown. We are working towards organic farming in the future so we do not use any harmful sprays and will be planting heritage seeds.

I was wwoofer in NZ. I did gardening ,weeding , cooking and looking after goats,dogs and chickens,I really enjoyed.So I want to do in Australia. I like meeting new people.

While travelling I volunteered for 19 different projects . I love to learn new skills, exchange knowledge, share parts of our life. I prefer to support animal and environment friendly projects. In Melbourne I volunteered for an organic commercial farm. I got lots of experience in weeding haha. The work was exhausting but we had an amazing time. Last year I volunteered for 3 month in the philippines for a couple with an organic permaculture farm. We planted banana trees, repaired fences, built garden sheds, watered the garden, transplanted, repaired and mulched the beeds, trimmed and shredded trees, grinded coconuts, looked after the cow, forstered kittens,... They also had an organic chicken and duck farm. I cleaned the enclosure, collected eggs, cleaned the duck ponds and did whatever needed to be done. They had 5 different types of compost (worm, maggot, hot, cold and dry). We were very busy turning the piles and determining the correct composition. We add cow, rabbit and worm poop and analyzed the fungi and bacteria with the microscope to improve the composting technique to use the end product for the soil in the vegetable beds. This project offered me a variety of opportunities to develop my craft skills and my knowledge of sustainable planting and a lifestyle close to nature. Another farm volunteering i did was in 2022 for a family with a big permaculture garden in Costa Rica. I had to plant pineapples, cut down banana trees, dig holes for cocoa trees, look after the ducks, rake leaves, built raised beds, maintain the garden, walk the dogs... We also sanded a lot of wood to renovate their house. i absolutely loved it! Furthermore I volunteered for several hostels, 4 animal shelters, sailboats, a surfcamp, a yoga and free dive center,... i also volunteered as a muralist and a waitress in a chinese caffe.
