Why I became a WWOOF Host
Since we started Wwoofing, we have thoroughly enjoyed meeting people from all around the world. We are a certified Wildlife Shelter that cares for predominantly kangaroos, ringtail and brushtail possums. We have a spare bedroom in our home which is the accomodation. We are keen to increase our plantations of native plants on the property to support the wildlife. There’s alway fire prevention needed. This involves mostly removing leaves and sticks from the property and mulching. Volunteer times are flexible, we just ask for 25 hours per week. This would usually work out to 5 hours a day, 5 days per week.
