We joined WWOOF because we want to experience the real Australia — far from the big cities and tourist spots. We’re looking to connect with locals, learn new skills, and live new experiences that we wouldn’t find anywhere else. We believe in exchanging time and energy for knowledge, connection, and a deeper understanding of the country we’re travelling through. WWOOFing is a great way to slow down, be useful, and discover new ways of living. We’re excited to meet hosts who are passionate about what they do and who are happy to share their lifestyle with curious travellers like us!

I had done wwoofing in England before. It was very wonderful experience, so I want to do it in Australia again. I love sheep so much that I’m very happy if I could help with shepherding works.

After getting exposure to farm life and integration into a family unit, I would love to learn more about living a sustainable life through wwoofing. As a journalist by nature, I am also looking forward to picking hosts brains about their lives, experiences, and areas of expertise. Overall, I am hoping to connect with likeminded individuals to facilitate meaningful cultural exchange and feel more connected to nature and the people who aim to protect it. As a bonus, I am also hoping to finish off the last of my required 179 days to get my 3rd year visa through bushfire or flood recovery work!

I joined WWOOF to immerse myself in farming practices and connect with like-minded people. I hope to learn hands-on agricultural skills, contribute to eco-friendly projects, and experience local culture in a meaningful way. WWOOF allows me to combine my passion for farming with my love of travel and learning

Past experiences, which were incredible and looking to make a whole host of new experiences. I love life as its a precious commodity that some people lose to early in life and its up to us to make the most of things looking forward

I want to meet people and to do the 88 days to qualify for my visa extension for the second year in Australia . Additionally, I want to learn how to live on a farm and help the Australian agricultural industry grow and develop. It is important for me to contribute to the community, even if it is not my own community in Israel. I believe that the experience of volunteering is amazing—it can benefit the farm I volunteer at while also giving me a great sense of fulfillment.

I decide to join WWOOF because I want to become a volunteer and live the Australian life experience in a different way that I had before. I would like to learn new skills about farming, construction and many more and help the family who will welcome me as much as possible. Moreover, I'm looking for a place who have an accommodation and can give me food for the time I'll be there!

I want to learn about permaculture and organic farm and the garden. Also permaculture living design. I want to meet a lot of people in the world. I also want my son to visit in different culture. I really want to be a host in Japan, but due to family reasons I cannot become one, and I would like to at least be involved as a WWOOFer.

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.

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.

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!

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.
