We want to learn new skills that we don't encounter in our daily lives as engineers and discover how life on a farm works. It's also a way for us to give more meaning to our travels.

I am a semi-retired Nurse, Brent is a retired Architect/Builder, we live on 13 acres by the Kangaroo River in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley. We have a large vegetable garden, citrus orchard, rose garden with other garden beds. We are about to plant avocadoes & have some macadamias Also, we have 4 Angus heifers & 1 Highland girl, the chook yard to a bit of decimation, but we still have 4 chooks & are getting another rooster to increase our numbers. Maralyn is a spinner & weaver, I also mosaic - I like making things! Brent comes in handy here!!! We love being outside & having outdoor fires, spending time in the veggie garden at sunset & other venues (the cows are always entertaining, they are big pets). We are fun loving with a friendly disposition. We are currently renovating our Caravan accommodation so if you have your own accommodation that would be handy

Because I would like to know how Australians live and what it is like to work on a australian farm. I would also like to make new contacts and have a good time

I was engaged in agriculture throughout Japan. In this moment,I come to want to experience agriculture not only in Japan but also outside of Japan. So I felt that Australia was the best choice because of its proximity to Japan and relative safety. And I also like visiting abroad.I like to dive into unknown world.I want to communicate with people in different countries.

As I mentioned previously, it's time for myself to switch it up and gain new experiences. A friend of mine told me about wwoofing and here I am giving this a shot. I want to achieve new skills and soak up all the knowledge I can get.

100 acres of scrub with 1km frontage to Pelican Lagoon (aquatic reserve) and on our other boundary is Pelican Lagoon Conservation Park, with lots of birds & wildlife. We are 5 min from Northern & Southern Ocean beaches. Our preferred menu is home brewed beer & cider, roo meat, curries and fresh vegetables. Our shack and mostly completed freestone home is solar powered, supplied with rainwater, wood stove cooking. No TV, but CD music, radio & books. Volunteering includes help with organic vegetable growing, track maintenance, building in freestone and natural materials, compost making, stump picking and caretaking the natural environment. Accommodation. for up to 4 adults in tents or shack (rough but comfortable) with mixed diet. No children. Phone one week in advance. Longer stays preferable. No public transport on the Island & no Mobile reception on the farm. Can P/U from the ferry by arrangement..

When we did vacations in different countries, we wanted to discover the culture and also to meet the locals really. Unfortunately, it´s not enough time on a short trip to discover a country and it´s locals really well. So, how can you get such things better than do the next step: work, live and laugh with the real people from the part of the world that needs to be discovered. As well, I (Patrick) want to improve my English skills, which Darya tried to help, but abroad would be better for sure…I started with English, just couple years ago. But here in the province where the most don`t talk English at all, it`s hard to level up. In the last 2 years relationship with my girl, we talked a lot about being abroad to improve my English and also have a “once in a lifetime experience”. So here we are, ready for a big journey, full of exciting experiences and interesting meets!

Since I was young, I have been interested in raising animals and managing crops, and I like to communicate with foreigners and make memories. Not only can I experience foreign cultures, but I also want to spend my vacation in a cool way. All the Australian memories and photos that I took about 15 years ago have been erased. Not necessarily for this reason, but after that, I have been missing those memories and I want to learn hard at a local farm in a foreign country and communicate actively with foreigners.

In Australia, our first experience was in a family's house in Brisbane as gardener and housekeeper. We really enjoyed it and we'd like to be volunteers to bring our help, as well to complete our 88 days and extend our visa.

I partially joined WWOOF because I want to complete part of my 88 days through this platform, and partially because I don’t have much farm work experience, and would love to experience more of it! I’ve also heard great things about WWOOF through several friends, and I think it’s a great opportunity to try something new.

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.

One hundred acres of bush-land embraced by the Cathedral Mountain Range (Cathedral State Park) surrounded by Wilderness and wildlife.  The pristine "Little River" within short walking distance.  The State Park only a kilometre away. Many varieties of birds, including lyrebirds, blue wrens, honey eaters, king parrots, cockatoos, galas, magpies, long necked heron, wood ducks, mistletoe birds  which visit my kitchen and garden. Wombats, wallabies and kangaroos visible from bedroom and lounge room. Dams and lakes to swim in. Netted  organic Vegetable garden and organic orchard (occupied by apples, pears, nectarines, peaches, blue berries, kiwi fruit, cherries, raspberries, pine-nuts, oranges, lemons, grapefruit ). Fruit and veggies mainly for home-use but surplus shared with family, friends and neighbours. Garden surrounding house is full of  multi-coloured spring flowers - azealias, Rhododenrum, japanese maple, jonquils, daffodils, tulips, Iris, Australian native plants. Mother - Eva Jellinek was "Australian Gardener of the Year" in 2009 (see ABC.net.au). My house -  like a ski chalet - wood cabin in the mountains built fifty years ago out of native Mountain Ash hardwood (from the tallest flowering tree in the World). The house has cathedral ceilings in the living room with every bedroom in the house with big window views of the Cathedral mountain range. Silence at night..no traffic noise. At evening stars light up the skies. The Milky Way is overhead. We are at the end of the road. My property has been recognised for its superb natural values by the Victorian State Government and is covenanted by Trust for Nature....which means it can never intentionally be destroyed by man/human.

We both love being outdoors and think gardening/ farming is good honest work that makes for a balanced life. Max loves getting her hands dirty and is wants to learn about permaculture. Dave is a handy guy with a welder and most tools. We also like to make new friends.

Started woofing and wabt to get 88 days.

Lucky’s Ridge is a 120acres of bush, heavily timbered, situated north NSW, near Tabulam, at the foot of great dividing range. It’s slightly subtropical (summer rain, dry winter usually, no frost). Since 2016, I’ve been busy establishing gardens and orchards on a few acres near the house and breeding small animals to feed myself and my guests. In 2021, I’ve had a primitive campground approved and open. It was mostly to host seasonal self reliant backpackers coming to pick blueberries at Mountain Blue farm, but I’m also keen to host people interested in off grid living, homesteading and sustainability or whoever wants to come and camp in this quiet part of the bush.

I’m a city boy who’s always dreamed of experiencing farm life. In 2018, I volunteered at a permaculture community, and it was an unforgettable experience that taught me so much about sustainable living. Since then, I’ve been gradually transforming my small suburban backyard into organic veggie garden beds. I’m joining WWOOF because I want to continue learning from hands-on experiences, share the skills I’ve picked up, and connect with like-minded people who are equally passionate about living sustainably.
