Chain of Ponds is a 40 acre permaculture site in development with many different systems being built or already functioning. Nearly all food for our family is produced on site. We live here with our 2 teenage kids, 2 dogs, horses and many other animals. We also run a tiny home and small campsite for travellers.  We also run a large Hot Air Ballooning company on the Sunshine Coast and Noosa hinterland.

We are looking to expand and grow as individuals and a family. Have always tried to ensure we are raising our kids on health spray free and hormone free food. We sold our home mid 2024 and are enjoying renting rurally. Joined to connect with like-minded people who we can learn off and help whilst creating friendships.

Adam: It seems like a good way to see more of the country, and after working indoors and in Scotland for the last few years, it'd be nice to do something outside and take advantage of the nicer weather. Cameron: Working outdoors and on farms would be a great way to get outside and be around nature, and to see the parts of Australia I didn't have the opportunity to see while living here.

Suburban Coastal property, Semi established Permaculture. Steep backyard. Beautiful leafy street a bicycle ride from the beach.

We decided to join WWOOF as it sounds like a perfect opportunity to help keep our travels going for as long as possible, whilst being on a strict budget, as well as helping out Australian communities and giving back to people for their kindness in opening their homes and lives to us. We both love meeting new friends and would love the feeling of a deeper connection to Australia than your average tourist! We are excited to learn new skills and develop the skills and interest we already share and are so passionate about. We’d love to get to know the area from a locals perspective (they always have the best tips and recommendations) getting the insiders intel first hand to feel really immersed in this trip we are taking. Plants, animals and the outdoors is a dream to us and this seemed the perfect opportunity to feed our souls and enjoy our adventure to the fullest. This alternative way of travelling really interests us and will give us once in a lifetime experience that we will forever carry with us.

Our property is 94 acres, nestled on the northern face of Mt Barrow. It is a bush block, mainly Myrtle and native rain forest with a large dam for trout fishing. Accommodation for 1-3 people in comfortable old family home. Mainly vegetarian meals. We have a dog, cat, chickens and lots of wildlife. No mobile phone cover but have internet access. We are happy to help people who wish to improve their English. Volunteering includes help in organic garden, yard and building maintenance and will help you in any area you wish to learn. For example wood work and using tools. We also enjoy having fun playing board and card games and have  a pool table. Children OK by arrangement. Young and mature WWOOFers welcome. Negotiable stays. Can pick up from Launceston or airport.

I am a traveler looking for meaningful ways to connect the nature and people of Australia. I desire to share my passion for nature with others through work exchange. I believe WWOOF aligns with my value of organic and sustainable farming.

I'm visiting Australia and I would love to get a feel of the country authentically by living among the residents rather than staying in hotels. I'm strongly considering immigration, therefore it's important for me to understand what real life is like (instead of tourism). I enjoy working with my hands, specifically building things and gardening. I love animals and currently gig in petcare (mostly cat/dog sitting); I would love to learn more about farm animal care. Traveling through WWOOF allows me to help the communities I visit, learn a new skill, and discover the true spirit of Australia.

Emu Ridge farms eucalyptus oil and produces a range or natural products. We are the only commercial eucalyptus oil in South Australia, operating a tourist attraction, retail & online shop. Volunteering includes farm chores, looking after wildlife, helping bottle oils & pack products we make for our retail shop. Accommodation for 1-2 people in our home or BYO. No children. Mixed diet. No smoking inside. Negotiable longer stays after initial visit.

We joined WWOOF because we wanted to travel differently, to discover Australia in a more immersive way, closer to nature. I love learning new things, especially when it's hands-on and outdoors! I grew up in the countryside, so manual work and life in the great outdoors speak to me. What's more, I really like the idea of exchanging time and energy for encounters and knowledge, rather than just passing through as a tourist!

Beautiful 230 hectare Regenerative Landcare award winning farm, that has now reached the status of being carbon neutral, running sheep for prime lamb production, cattle, practising agroforestry, natural building, cut native flowers, running regenerative farm tours and working dog schools. We are experimenting with some biodynamic and permaculture principles, and using cover cropping (multi species) to improve our soils and animal health.   We have sheep, cattle, alpacas & dogs. Two of our daughters and their partners and 3 children live on the property as well. If you would like to see what we do go to the facebook page "Yan Yan Gurt West Farm"

Because a friend told me about it and I have been looking for something that I could do that would teach me some new skills that I believed would be of benefit to the project that I was part of and also that I could bring home to my space and replicate. I think it is an amazing opportunity and I feel that this is the way the world is going to be going forward.

I joined Wwoof Australia because I've seen most of NZ, and now I want to see Australia and meet loving, awesome people. I want to travel on a low budget and enjoy nature. I like to gain new skills and knowledge in farming and gardening. I like to experience a different culture and meet new people. I'm interested in organics, sustainability and self-sufficiency.

I love helping people and working in the garden. I really enjoyed my previous woofing experience I like travelling and discovering new cultures

I joined WWOOF to explore the different work-away possibilities offered here. I’d like to know more about permaculture and how to build and manage a garden. I look forward to talk to you as a host! Thanks

I have joined WWOOF, because I want to meet new people, get to know the australian culture and to improve my skills and grow as a person.

It was the way I found to help me travel to Asia and help people and on the same time discover new places and cultures, see the real places and not the tourist areas, connect with locals. As I plan to find a job in Australia doing woofing can help me to have a place while I search for a job and keep myself active and working helping people and seeing the non tourist part of Australia.
