There are three reasons why I started WWOOF. The first is because I wanted to improve various skills such as agriculture and cooking. The second reason is that I want to interact with many people around the world. The third is to train my English skills.

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.

We are a 40 acre farm with a young family. We run beef cattle, 2 pet donkeys, chickens, ducks and our 4 pet dogs. We have recently completed our permaculture design course but are still learning the ropes on growing food as we go. We have a small garden area with big plans to hopefully grow majority of our own fresh fruit and vegetables. We process our own beef for our family consumption and are hoping to start doing the same with poultry.

We join WWOOF in order to help hosts around Australia during our trip in the country. For us, it is a good way to improve our English et share experiences with Australian citizens.

I wanted to join WWOOF after hearing stories and experiences about it, which really sparked my interest. I love travelling, trying new things, and just soaking in different ways of life, so this felt like such a great fit. I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’m excited to get out of my comfort zone. I’d love to experience life on a farm and help out hosts however I can while enjoying the peaceful countryside in Victoria. I’m hoping this will be a meaningful and eye-opening adventure.

We live in the hills of Perth Western Australia on 7 acres of land. It has been set up as semi of grid. We work full time, I work in Mental Health and hubby is a fly in fly out miner so not home all that much 🙁 We have plenty of animals we take care of, these include horse, dogs, chooks and bees. Part of our love is to work the bee hives up to about 80 of them. We sell our honey to family, friends and markets, also I make a lot of by products from the honey and wax such as candles, wax wraps, melts and we also do infused honey for health benefits. Our community of bee keepers are very helpful but always needing an extra hand with the hives. My local community we share our extra crops we have with fruits, eggs and what other things we have an abundance off. I am in our local CWA Country Women's Association where we volunteer out time helping out others by raising funds for different groups or schools and I'm also a member of our local Community support group, where help address concerns in our community like clean up Australia, planting trees to writing letters to the local council of road conditions or fallen trees. I have three horses that I help teach others to ride and also those with disabilities. I have 6 Labrador dogs which are also I breed as another side line business (I am a registered breeder), and use them in my pet therapy groups or one to one with those with disabilities or PTSD. I have a two rooms one queen size and the other with tow single beds in with a shared bathroom and you have a beautiful deck over seeing the rustic bushland that we are surrounded by, you can see the local wild life of kangaroos, birds, bandicoots and others. Others that share the house are and my step son who works full time. There is a indoor heated swimming pool for use too. Our property is very quiet and well set of the road so no disturbances there- maybe the cockatoos (local birds) may wake you up. I hope this is a short summary of mine and hubby's life.

Now that graduation is soon arriving, I am glad to be open to pursue an applied opportunity within my chosen field of study, sustainable agriculture. I am excited to meet new people, explore new cultures, and develop my sustainable agricultural knowledge and skills. I hope this experience will be full of learning and joy.

Our beautiful sheep farm is located on the East Coast of Tasmania and features kms of pristine coastline with breathtaking views and a stunning sandy beach. Our farm is surrounded by nature reserves and we frequently see wedged tail eagles and swift parrots and other rare wildlife. We are keen to enhance the conservation value of the land through endemic tree planting and environmentally sustainable farming practices. The homestead contains several buildings and cottages that require maintenance, and we are establishing a vegetable garden and mixed fruit tree orchard.

We chose WWOOFing because we love the idea of combining travel with meaningful work and cultural exchange. As physiotherapists, we enjoy being active and helping others, and WWOOFing allows us to contribute in a hands-on way while learning valuable skills. We want to experience sustainable farming, connect with locals, and step outside our comfort zone. Working outdoors, learning new skills, and being part of a community really appeals to us. We also see it as a great opportunity to slow down, appreciate nature, and gain a deeper understanding of different ways of life.

We want to discover Australia from every angle, which is why we're looking to woof and help Australians. We want to get to know your culture by living alongside you for a while. We want to build relationships and do our bit for your project.

Nurrewin is a property situated 2 hours north of Sydney, in the beautiful Wollombi Valley. Situated 15 minutes from the historic village of wollombi, the 35 hectares of native forest is a wildlife sanctuary on an old Aboriginal land. The main house is a traditional pole house, with large decks and verandah, built on a cleared elevated plateau with beautiful views of the valleys around. Adjacent is another building, converted in an artist studio. The property is completely autonomous, off the grid, with a powerful solar installation, rainwater tanks, phone and internet communication by satellite. The forest is composed of grey gums, red gums, blue gums, mountain ash, stingybark, turpentine, white mahogany, iron ark, wattles…etc, it was affected by the 2019/2020 bushfire and since then has been regenerating. I am an artist, I have a solo painting exhibition every 2 years. I share my time between painting in the studio and looking after the forest, mainly clearing areas to create firebreaks in the forest, or weeding invasive non native species after regeneration. The place is very peaceful, unique natural environment, with wildlife all around : many birds, wallabies, wombats, goannas, possums…etc I am a musician, playing piano and accordéon. I am also a volunteer for the Wollombi Valley Arts Council, managing 2 galleries for local and aboriginal artists in Wollombi village.

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.

I joined WWOOF as a resource to gain as much experience in different working sectors as possible, while adding the benefit of visiting areas that I may not have the opportunity to see otherwise. I like meeting new people in an authentic setting, gathering knowledge along the way.

Tom has WWOOFed in Australia and New Zealand before, and we know that this is the way we want to experience our travels. We want to be able to explore roads less travelled while having a positive impact, meeting new people, and learning new skills. The experience that we're looking to gain is all with a view to inform our future, living a low-impact life, being in touch with our roots as custodians of nature. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you think we could be of help in your home! Can't wait to hear from you. Molly and Tom x

We have been traveling for a while now and are looking for a bit of structure and stability. We’d like to learn some new skills and feel some sense of purpose as we continue to explore and discover what Australia has to offer. We are also both outgoing and people-oriented and hope to find a bit of community through WWOOF.

We joined WWOOF to find a farm that we can possibly volunteer in as part of our school's electives programme, where we can explore areas beyond what we are studying in school! We are keen to help out in gardening, caring for animals etc. while also having fun with our hosts. We hope to share our Singapore culture and more about ourselves with hosts while also learning from them their way of life and their culture 🙂

Previous enjoyable and rewarding experience wwoofing in Australia I like to meet new people who have purpose and intent whom I am able to help at minimal expense to both parties while escaping the Kiwi winter winter

I joined wwoofing as I have experienced it a few years back in both Canada and Japan. I found the experiences worth while and meaningful. The concept is very pure and important, giving people the opportunity to return to country, return to nature, return to the roots of health and be able to connect to land and gain a new perspective. A perspective that I believe is often a healing experience and a time to expand critical thought.

Intentional community based on Permaculture principles with residential lots, common areas and a small farm. Vegetable gardens, 1000 fruit trees and native vegetation.

I love farming. I love farming in Japan, but I would like to experience farming overseas as well. In Australia, they grow different crops from those in Japan, so I would like to experience farming that I can only experience in Australia. I also believe that my overseas farming experience will be very useful for my future study of agriculture at university. I would like to participate in WWOOF to gain a new perspective on my field of study.
