Large backyard garden. I have fruit trees, vegie beds, bee hive and chooks. My house is in walking distance to shopping centre, bus, leisure centre and library. I have some internet access, and bedroom has shower and basin attached. I volunteer in the Grovedale Community Garden(it has a facebook page); in the Grovedale Community Orchard(also has a facebook page); and buy and help with the Grovedale Veggie Box which supplies me with fresh, organic vegetables(also facebook page). From all these places I learn more about how to sustainably garden and look after my chickens.

The Block is a 27 acre bush block, 5km from Gosford. We are surrounded by State Forest and and have many with native animals and birds visit us. It is very peaceful but also close to town and easy access to the train to Sydney. We owner built our home using sandstone and recycled timbers, we run on solar power and have composting toilets (they don't smell!). We have accomodation for two in our spare room (comfy double bed). Work includes gardening, maintenance and perhaps a little building. What would suit us best is Woofers who are prepared to work 3 full days and then have 3 days free to do what they like but we are willing to be flexible.

We hope to become farmers in the next few years and joined Wwoof to learn while living and experiencing this life directly. We think it’s important to do this as a family before adjusting our lives permanently. We are passionate about the health of our planet and our connection to land, and that it’s key to addressing many of the biggest issues we currently face as a civilisation. We wish to learn from the experience and knowledge from those making a life on the land and through hands-on experience....and have a great time while doing it!

I've joined WWOOF because I have recently graduated from uni and am now seeking new adventures, skill sets, and connections with amazing people and places.

Acacia Grove Health Education Centre is a 5 acre, Permaculture designed farm. there are approx. 350 orchard trees and a large vegetable garden. It is situated 50km west of Townsville in north Queensland, 400m above sea level, on the Great Dividing Range. The mountain air is cooler than on the coast.

Our primary reason for joining WWOOF is to learn more about permaculture hands-on and to offer our energy and service to this cause. We hope to make connections with like-minded people and explore other parts of Australia.

I am Australian and love Australia more than any other part of the world, I want to travel around Australia so l can explore its Beauty, meet interesting people and pay my way while working and supporting our Farmers.

For our 12 month van trip it seems like a great way to learn some practical skills and see some different ways of doing things that maybe we could incorporate into our own little garden at home. We would love to start keeping bees and chooks in our yard to start 'closing the loop' in our backyard.

I'm turning my life towards a healthier path as I don't drink or smoke anymore and trying to be vegetarian. So learning about the farm lifestyle and and knowing what I could achieve learning from the hosts itself is exciting for me and a great place to start. I'd also like to have my own farm one day. That'll be ideal.

I have come to WWOOF in hopes to engage directly with positive ecology; an interest that is not limited to one form of practice. Through engagement with prominent and emerging farming practices, I hope to discover more techniques and strategies which may bring them together. I hope to find ways of balancing cash crop seasons with cover crops and rotational grazing. I hope to find ways of practising agroforestry with high biodiversity. I wish to learn about all aspects of farming; from the hunter-gather and permaculture skills from which we began, to the organic bio-dynamic agroforests to which we will go.

The farm is 100ha on the Orara River, 25 km south of Grafton, producing tea tree oil, timber and some garden fruit. Abundant wildlife, kangaroos at the house, swimming in the river. Work includes weeding, fencing, tree planting, machinery operation, building.& garden work. I am an eco-professional & sometimes work off farm so WWOOFers should be flexible but can also help with wildlife studies. Accom for 1-3 people in my home depending on space or camp. NSI. Can P/U from bus, train or airport.

I joined WWOOF through Work & Travel Company and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.  

To learn new skills and meet likeminded people

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a good way to get much new experiences, getting connected to people, learn a lot about Australia and hopefully about myself. It is great to help people with some work and get accommodation and food. And to be honest it´s nice if you have not that much money to travel.

Reclaiming paradise, a once weed infested cow paddock is being lovingly transformed into native habitat & permaculture haven. Koalas, echidnas, wallabies & birds aplenty. A 1.5km pleasant walk or bike-ride from Lismore CBD Accomodation in house, or plenty of room for camping. Work incl. mulching,building, weeding, planting, building.., depends on your skills & what you like to do.. WiFi, Bicycles, Mainly vegetarian meals.

We are on 10 acres situated on a small rise which gives us a lovely view from our site. We are in the process of completing a new chook run and a verandah for the house. We have a small female Jack Russell dog whom we love very much. We have wonderful neighbours and we are situated near a town called Castlemaine which has alot of cultural activities. We are slowly working on the garden and would like to have your assistance there. Please bring sturdy strong shoes. At the moment in the Summer it is very dry and there are lots of jobs to do tidying up and getting garden beds ready for the Autumn and Spring.

I joined WWOOF to meet new people around australia,also I really appreciate and believe in the woofing way. Im a hard worker with a lot of experience and motivation, and I think I can help a lot in every place that I will work for. I volunteered in Israel and I want to do it more in my life and I think WWOOF is a great platforn to do so.
