My block is on a wild river, only 20km from Gordonvale on a sealed road, and 40km south of Cairns. On the other side of the river is Wooroonooran National Park, a World Heritage Rainforest, about the same area as the Daintree Rainforest. Being centrally located, the block is almost equidistant from Cairns/Babinda and the Tablelands. Life is subject to the elements, the mood of the river, sun and rainfall patterns. Wildlife abounds, and includes a large variety of bird and aquatic life, moths and butterflies (I breed Cairns Birdwings), insects, reptiles, several species of marsupials, and brumbies (wild horses). I do not have pets, as nature provides endless companionship and entertainment, for which I'm very grateful. UPDATE #3: Due to Tropical Cyclone Jasper on 13th December 2023, the bridge between our area and the nearest town was swept away - this was planned for repair in the dry season which didn't start until June 2024. We were traveling via boat/kayak across the river until February 10th 2024, when a footbridge was installed. The temporary road bridge was installed in late July 2024, and preparation for a more permanent bridge is well underway. These events illustrate the occasional difficulties experienced in the Cyclone season (November to May each year).   While half of my life was spent living and working in the Pacific, and the other half working in Renewable Energy in Australia, I love this connection to nature, and its wildlife. I also have adopted some of the extended family/community aspects of island cultures, which some people from western cultures find hard to adopt and understand. I have lived here for over 20 years, and grow a range of tropical fruit and vegetables for my own and friends consumption. Many years ago I planted a number of rainforest trees such as lemon myrtle (which makes a great tea), davidsons plum, lemon aspin, and evodia (which attracts the Ulysses butterfly). There is also a well established vine which hosts the caterpillar which becomes Australia's largest butterfly, the Cairns Birdwing. The house is entirely off-grid and is solar powered (I'm an electrical engineer who started in renewable energy in 1974), and I deal with my own water supply and waste treatment. Where possible I've reduced my usage of fossil fuels, so have no backup generator, and run an electric mower, electric sports motorcycle and occasionally, an electric chainsaw. My sports are almost all human or natural energy systems powered, and have been through my life. Two self contained, open plan, single bedroom houses are joined by a solar walkway. Both have verandah's with a view of the river. I sleep in the newer house, but use the kitchen/lounge in the older house, which has accomodation for WWOOFers in an adjoining bedroom. The older house also has the shared bathroom/ laundry attached to it, and has access to the original outside toilet. There is limited internet access via satellite, for email only, for an hour each evening, by prior negotiation with the host. Mobile reception is OK for SMS out on the road, but is patchy for voice. A landline is available for local calls, also by prior negotiation. Compared to an outer island in the Pacific, communication is very good - compared to a big city in most parts of the world, it is slower.

We joined WWOOF Australia mainly to get Alma’s 88 days in, but also to see something else then the busy streets of Sydney, learn new things, and make friends along the way!  

After 25 years of hosting I have decided to only accept people with a comprehensive set of skills. I no longer have the patience to keep teaching people simple skills such as weeding and washing dishes. No first time WWOOFers[Sorry] Only people with positive references will be considered. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OR VAPEING ON THE PROPERTY. I prefer to breathe clean air. Read again so you are sure. PLEASE DO NOT BRING PERFUMED PRODUCTS [SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER ,BODY WASH , SOAP ,SUNSCREEN] I can supply an alternative. I have become highly sensative to "perfumed products" .People have not been getting the first message on my profile so PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY BODY OR HAIR CLEANING PRODUCTS. I WILL SUPPLY THEM FOR YOU.    If there is someone interested in a long term place to live and learn about organic farming, I am open to that. There are areas of usable land that I'm not really able to keep up with, so they could be yours for growing"whatever" to make some income.  Please read section 7 of the guidelines for Wwoofers and understand it. Hi All you lovely WWOOFers. I'm especially looking for some long term people if they are around. I've been very fortunate to live in this beautiful part of Tasmania for 30 years and just love being able to share it with people from all over the world. There is 19 ha of farm to care for [some bush, pastures and extensive fruit and vegetable gardens]. Then there's millions of ha of stunning mountain and alpine wilderness to explore right behind the farm. Please come and enjoy life for a while. I prefer people to stay at least  one month and have a genuine interest in learning about sustainable farming and living.

8 acres of native regeneration, organic orchard and Garden. We are on the Banks of the Mongarlowe River where we are nurturing beautiful unimproved native pastures, gardens and an old orchard. We were impacted by the 2019/20 Black Sumer Fires and we working hard to manage weeds and the massive regowth that's occured over the last few years. We are close to the Monga National Park.  An ancient Gondwana remanent forest type and the source of the Mongarlowe River, one of the cleanest rivers in NSW it flows parallel to the escarpment for 40kms before turning inland. This small parcel of land, was cleared agricultural land over 50 years ago, when it subdivided off a large property to build a trout farm that never worked. Patrick purchased this property in 1979, and it’s been slowly regenerating ever since. Over the last 10 to 15 years, it’s reached a point in its regeneration where we are now gardening by subtraction.  There has been so much regrowth that we are in a process of removing and planting vegetation develop this site. We have a large food garden, primarily for personal use.    When fully operational we will sell excess produce, seedlings and seeds at the local markets. We are 17 km from the nearest town - we can provide some transport to and from town where needed.   Woofers with a manual drivers licence or a car of their own would be ideal.

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.

This is a 7 acre property (3 acres of forest adjoining National Park), located on the slopes of Gulaga, a sacred mountain overlooking the ocean. A small creek studded with granite boulders, tree ferns & pristine swimming holes run through the property, and a few kilometres away are endless wild beaches. Great mountain walks. We have a large Organic vegetable garden, fruit trees & chickens. Other areas are being landscaped or regenerated. We also manufacture a range of flower essences from Himalayan Wildflowers. Volunteering is varied: landscape or (organic) vegetable gardening, helping with flower essence production. Accom for 3-4 people in the house. No children. A good sense of humour and love of life a big plus. Negotiable stays. We can sign off on 88 Days, see below for more information.

We are looking for a cultural and meaningful experience in Australia. Wwoof means for us the best tourism, through working and helping local people as a way of traveling. We would love to practice more about agriculture or mechanics and to develop our manual and technical skills. Wwoof seems to be the right place to find generous people ready to give us these experiences in return for our motivation.

30 acre lifestyle property with land reserved for wildlife located in a secluded, picturesque valley opposite the Toomuc Valley Creek on an unmade road with walking access to state forests and walking tracks. Equestrian facilities; stables, tack up area, riding menage, agisted horses and one dam. Property is on tank water. Back bush paddock is a home to kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, magpies, cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets and kookaburras. There are also feral deer on the property. Located 10 minutes from a metropolitan train line to Melbourne's CBD. Host will provide drop off & picks ups to the train station for an easy day trip to the city. Wwoofers have their own bedroom with king-single bunk beds including new comfortable mattresses and bathroom with a seperate toilet. Comfortable 4 bedroom house with open fires, air conditioning in main living area, fans in bedrooms and a verandah with beautiful  views of the valley and established native trees. Beautiful Kilcundra Beach is only 45 mins away and there are several local wineries and an apple orchard which has a cafe. Wwoofers always enjoy a visit to the local animal sanctuary where one can cuddle wombats and often young kangaroos.

I’m drawn to WWOOF because I want to learn new skills through hands-on experience and immerse myself more deeply in the local culture and way of life. I’m especially interested in community living, off-grid setups, and regenerative practices. This journey is also about exchange – I’d love to contribute with the skills and experiences I already have, while learning from others and being part of something meaningful. I believe in the power of shared work, good conversations, and living close to the land.

We have a 100 acre farm situated 15 minutes from beautiful Yeppoon. We grow seasonal vegetables and herbs using organic practices and have cows, goats, chooks and dogs. We strive to live a sustainable lifestyle and sell out produce weekly to the local community. We have a self contained and comfortable caravan with a double bed and a fold out bed. The van is positioned in our 2 acre yard. We need help with the market garden (planting, picking, weeding, mulching, trellising, irrigating fencing and whipper snipping).

I would like to live and cultivate a deeper relationship with the land that provides us with so much, food, shelter, protection. I was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of the Himalayas and grew up in a small town in Srinagar, Kashmir. I have always had a deep longing to get back into the mountains into nature where I feel most comfortable, and now as life has it I am in a position to be able to work from anywhere and have enough resources to be learning and participating in activities that truly feed my soul, one of which is teaching meditation which I have been doing for a while and the other is to learn how to become self sustainable, growing my own food through regenerative methods, where the soil is replenished rather than stripped from its important nutrients. Therefore I find myself, joining this woofing community to work remotely and on my free time engage closely with the land and a community of people who have been doing this sacred work. It would be a dream come true for me to be able to live and learn from someone who has been successful in building a nurturing self sustainable community.

I joined WWOOF because it's an awesome way to travel saving money while being able to help other people at their properties! I like meeting new people and making friends. I appreciate the exchange of skills.

Our property sits on the edge of the Beelu National Park in the hills east of Perth. Quirky outbuildings made from recycled materials, including an art studio. The main cottage was built in 1881. The accomodation consists of a caravan with all mod cons (air con/tv) with a seventies vibe, an old railway carriage and a recently renovated outdoor bathroom with toilet and shower. We share it with one dog, a quarter horse and a miniature pony. 15 minutes from Lake Leschenaultia where you can swim. 15 minutes to the railway station to central Perth. A great location on the edge of the forest but with easy access to Perth city and Fremantle.

Recently moved back to Qld from NSW. I wanted to try something new inbetween jobs while enjoying the beautiful Australian landscape. Keen to learn new skills and particularly interested in permaculture.

We have come out of early retirement to start up our Boutique Potted Christmas tree farm on small lakeside acreage on the beautiful Atherton Tableland near Cairns in Far North Queensland. Lake Tinaroo is recognised as a world class fishery for large stocked Barramundi fish and social water sports. The Tableland area has a showcase of scenic waterfalls, locally grown produce, restaurants and interesting must see villages. Its Avocado and other tropical fruits and vege farms provide plenty of casual work in season. We have a detached shed with couples accommodation including kitchen and bathroom as well as a singles caravan and or second room in the residence.   Transport would be an advantage.   Read the WWOOF Blog about us HERE

We are a group of 4 families who run 3 properties all next door to each other around the Weir River. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful area, with a mix of open grazing country running into brigalo timber and down into lightly forested river country. We are 40 mins from both Goondiwindi and Moonie. We have a fully seperate 4 bedroom house for you to stay in that has been recently renovated, with wifi and mobile service available. We also have a lot of diversity, with sheep, stud cattle, cropping, breeding and training horses, as well as cutting/camp-draft training amongst ourselves, there is something here to interest everybody.
