To learn from farmers and fellow WWOOFERS and to contribute to a worthy life purpose... growing food and caring for the land and its inhabitants. I am now able to travel Australia wide, spending time on the land to understand this diverse environment. I have recently completed a number of farm sitting roles over the past two years, that primarily involved caring for farm animals and pets.

My home-stay overlooks the sweeping hills and bush land of Apple Tree Creek, situated on many acres with peacocks and other roaming wildlife.

Expect to be welcomed into a relaxed family atmosphere by myself and my friendly dog Mr Bo Jangles. Whispering Winds is in remote bushland 28km south of Cooktown. Off grid solar power & WiFi, limited mobile reception. Work includes fruit picking, tropical orchard & general maintenance, vegie gardening, seed collection, building and art projects. Relax, dive into a croc free lagoon, stargaze by the camp fire, bushwalk through the rainforest to waterfalls. Explore your artistic side with arty projects. Caravan accommodation and delicious healthy meals. We welcome children b.a. NSI.

Hello this Kate and Big Al here.  We are happy to welcome you. Lake Cootharaba retreat, our suburban Permaculture garden and retreat is situated in Boreen Point, a small village surrounded by the beautiful biosphere region of Cooloola National Park, on the shores of the stunning Lake Cootharaba and 1/2 hr from Noosa.  Our garden has evolved organically over the years according to  permaculture principles and ethics. A bohemian place with little nooks and grannies for reflection and relaxing. The garden is to be redesigned as a Permaculture teaching space. We also moved a small house onto a three acre rural property in Pomona, 20 minutes from Boreen Point two years ago. Half the property and the gardens around the newly established house are to be incorporated into a Permaculture design. So there is lots to learn and share and we are really open to learning too. With challenges due to Covid and difficulties with accomodation for many people we are open to longer stays and  possibilities to earn extra income in the neighbourhood or on the property.  We have a few types of accomodation to choose from. Hoping to hear from you.                                           Best wishes Kate and Al.  

We have a 800 acre farm west of Airlie Beach in The Whitsundays, the gateway to The Great Barrier Reef. Ben and I have 2 boys, Archie and Royce who are 6 and 11. We are very passionate about regenerative farming, working with nature, not against it! We believe in breeding healthy, happy animals without the use of chemicals and taking care of the world underneath our feet. The farm is approved to hold workshops and day visits and we would like to set up a permaculture garden and produce healthy, nutrient dense food. We have built a beautiful timber barn to hold workshops and create an amazing space for people to come together and share wonderful experiences.

Our property is located between Airlie Beach and Mackay. We have several houses on the property, cattle and orchards. There is a permanent creek with large swimming holes and the property borders Eungella National Park so it is perfect for nature lovers. We are very laid back people who enjoy the outdoors.

I have a keen interest in sustainability and food production, so would love to gain more experience in working on farms, permaculture gardens, allotments, vineyards etc. I also really enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places, and believe that WWOOF provides the perfect opportunity to do both!

After 4 years of studying am very eager to get out of the city and away from theoretical concepts and into the natural world with real people working hard to solve issues around food production. I cannot wait to have my hands in the soil rather than typing away on a laptop all day. Through WWOOFing I hope to gain an understanding of the real life practise of organic farming. Given I grew up in Victoria, I am not so much interested in a cultural exchange or spending time doing 'touristy' things but rather working and learning from growers and farmers. I do hope to one day own my own land and have my own kitchen garden and so (rather selfishly) also hope to learn a few tricks of the trade for my own food production. I currently have leafy greens growing out of planter boxes in my tiny garden out the front of my unit in the city and it ain't cutting it!

To learn more about living sustainably, to explore Australia and to connect with like-minded people. We want to learn more about organic gardening. Ideally we’d love to volunteer for a family or community that also has children so that they can be together. We would like our children to be part of the activities and events . Our family are looking to volunteer with likeminded, hardworking people who share a passion for mother nature, connection, family and traversing the ups and downs of life. We are ready to work ASAP and happy to stay on for a while if it works of all.

Our property is an eco-tourism retreat in a large private habitat reserve, 50 minutes south from Hobart Tasmania. Lots of birds, wildlife, forest, walking tracks. Variety of tasks, including construction, firewood cutting, walking track and cabin maintenance. As Covid has reduced our tourism activity, most tasks are physical and outdoor, associated with property maintenance. Few of the tasks are cabin housekeeping, so if cleaning and guest services are your preferred main activities, you might be happier at a different property.

25 acres in the foothills of Mt. Roland near Sheffield on the way to Cradle Mt. The farm is run on the Permaculture principles, with a small herd of cattle, some poultry, orchard with mixed fruit, walnut & hazelnut trees, vegetable garden and a black-wood timber plantation. Gilles of French origin, is a carpenter, cabinet maker by trade & often involved in construction projects & prefers to use natural materials such as mud brick, cob or pressed earth bricks. Accommodation is a comfortable self-contained cottage with its own kitchen, bathroom & toilets, solar hot water and wood stove. Work is varied: feeding animals, gardening, picking fruits & nuts, at the end of summer, collecting firewood etc, sometimes it could be woodwork. The  guests are treated like part of the family and share main meals in the house and are welcome to share preparation of the food. The duration of stay can vary, we like it to be at least 2 weeks but it is mostly decided in the first few days. French and English spoken.

We have a passion for organic farming and had wonderful experiences when we WWOOFed in Alaska, Canada and New Zealand in 2008. We are travelling around Australia while we are on long service leave in 2021 and are looking forward to spending some of the time WWOOFing!

Skye and I are interested in learning as much as we can about different sustainable living techniques whilst travelling the world. WWOOFing allows us to give back and lend help to those who need it and to learn from those who want to teach. We are very passionate about the world we live in and want to make the best possible effort to conserve and repair the natural environment.

We both enjoy meeting new people as well as learning new skills. Organic farming is something we try to practice at home and are always interested in learning how people practice
