We have been welcoming wwoofers in France to our family farm for many years! And we would in turn like to discover what it is like to be a wwoofer and share our experience...!

joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. I also had the idea that if I came to Australia, there was nowhere I would rather work than on a farm, because I always wanted to be as close to nature and the "real"/authentic Australian way of life as possible. Also it is comon sens that one of the biggest joys about traveling is to get in touch with locals and building great lasting relationships with them on the way. WWOOF seemed like the perfect opportunity for that.

The reason I participated in Wwoof is because I was attracted to the Australian people, culture, and way of thinking when I visited Melbourne, Australia last year, and I wanted to learn more about them. Also, although I come from Japan, my parents run a farm and I helped out when I was little, so it's a field that I'm very familiar with and would like to learn more about.

My aim is to see as many parts of the east coast as possible, making stops along the way, where I can see cool parts of Australia and stay, in exchange lending my time.

Originally, I wanted to experience farm life. This is because, for me, nurturing living things is something that makes me happier than being in contact with digital devices. In addition, I also had a desire to go to Australia and live in the great outdoors, so I registered with WHOOF.

Steep, scenic 64 ha farm in a valley bounded by state forest on 2 sides and situated 15 minute drive from the beach (Great Ocean Road). Farming cattle and sheep, agroforestry, 1 ha gardens including orchard area. Varied volunteering includes gardening, planting, fencing, hoeing pasture weed & occasional work with livestock. Comfortable accommodation, own room in house. No mobile reception but we have internet. We have a pet Labrador, chooks for eggs, alpacas to protect lambs from foxes. Extensive vegetable garden and hot house. Generous tasty meals and a comfy bed!

Community occupancy, established 50 years ago to live indpendtly off the grid and live an organic lifestyle. We have 14 shareholders each with 5 acres within 350 acres in natural bush. We have a community garden and are chemical free. Most shareholders grow most of their own food. Many have built their own homes. The train between Sydney and Brisbane stops in Glouster our nearest town.

I joined WWOOF because I desire to learn more about different agricultural practices and implement them in my home country, I wish to then teach them to my family, put them to the test and propagate all this new knowledge I'll obtain along the way. I also believe this is a far better method to connect with the local culture, as one is capable of creating a more genuine bond with people, and of course because I want to explore this wonderful country that Australia is!

We are both very interested and passionate about regenerative farming and keen to learn. Kitty sees regenerative farming as her future and Elizabeth wants to go into conservation with an additional focus on re-wilding.

As I have always loved traveling, I decided to do my practical semester abroad. By spending time abroad, I hope to learn a few things in practice that will help me on my way as a future plant breeder. I have to complete an practical semester in the 4th semester of my agricultural economics degree. Among other things, I would also like to further improve my English I also hope to gain an insight into a new, foreign country. Furthermore, I want to get to know new people with new cultures, new food, a new environment and always look forward to the unexpected things. Of course, I hope to be able to do some of the work for you on your farm and to support you wherever I can.

Through woofing I hope to improve my English and meet new people. My goal is also to start my trip to Australia by woofing to acclimate to the country.

I've been riding for 10 years and I'd like to fulfill my childhood dream of working with animals or at least in nature. I'd also like to try my hand at handicrafts. i'd like to meet new people and discover australian culture (and live away from a computer).

To experience more. I know that there is so much more to life than what I have experienced so far and I must see what's out there. I am eager to go on a journey.  I am keen to put myself out there, follow my passions and see where life takes me/us.

Because I like to experience new stuffs and meet new friends and also currently interesting in agriculture.I used to work as IT engineer for 3 years .And now I want to meet a new enjoyable way to live . Hope to meet a great WWOOF host and work there!

My property, Murnong Willum, has a solar passive house/composting toilet/solar hot water, made from recycled material, centre courtyard garden (rainforest bush foods), internal vegie garden. Native rainforest, exotic orchard, yabbie pond. In my spare time I like to do pencil & pastel art work. I have been doing Permaculture for 30 years and would love to teach anyone who wants to learn about this and Sustainability Living. Volunteering includes: gardening, propagating bush foods, watering and just general maintenance, if you are handy with a hammer that would be a bonus. Also some house cleaning if weather not suitable to go outside. Meals:  I'm told I am a very good cook, I like to do lots of stir fries, Mixed diet. I will take you on a trip around the Island at the end of your stay no worries How to get here: Catch a V/Line bus to Sunset Strip directly. Buy ticket to Cowes but ask the driver to let you off at Sunset Strip.

My main motivation is finding inspiration for the kind of life and home I would like to build for myself. I have WWOOFed on several farms and each experience taught me so much. About farming, life in general, but first and foremost about myself. I also enjoy meeting and getting to know new people and their ways of life.

Small farm concentrating on poultry and Berries with extensive gardens. 2 hours from Melbourne in a mountain setting. Private apartment accommodations.

I joined WWOOF because it combines my passion for connecting with people, learning new skills, and exploring different ways of life. It’s the perfect opportunity to deepen my appreciation for nature and sustainable living while meeting people from diverse cultures. I’m excited to gain hands-on experience, contribute to meaningful work, and be part of a movement that promotes a healthier, more sustainable world.
