We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building work such as fencing. We have 1000 acres of native vegetation, 4500 acres of grazing country for farming & bee keeping, with red undulating soil. Work on our farm includes sheep & cattle stock work, farm chores, fencing, organic gardening, milking cows, tending sheep, chickens & turkeys, pruning trees and whatever else needs doing. At the moment we have some baby lambs and calves that need to be fed and taken care of. If you are interested in learning something new and getting to know what life on an Australian Farm is like, you are more than welcome to stay with us. We love to get to know different people from other countries and are happy to teach you new skills. We hope that you will have an unforgettable and unique experience with us on our rural farm in the Australian outback. We generally prefer longer stays.

I have joined Woof as I got a taste of farm life and I am excited for more experiences and learning. It gives me absolute joy when working on a farm where I can contribute and make a difference.

Our farm is a mixed cropping, and grazing property set in a stunning valley in the foothills of the Richmond ranges National Park. We grow ginger, turmeric and garlic, along with vegetables, berries and a mixed fruit and nut orchard. Our animals include a small Jersey dairy herd, a  beef cow and five steers for meat. We also have five heritage breeding sows and two boars, and a few boys and girls destined for pork eventually and currently we have 14 piglets of various ages. In addition we have poultry, Pekin ducks for eggs and meat, a mixed flock of about 30 chickens that produce gorgeous eggs daily. Finally, we have 19 guinea fowl, noisy, messy and often down-right annoying, but they eat ticks and keep snakes away. Other animals, we have two beautiful ginger cats for vermin control, mainly in the sheds, and a beautiful, loveable and majestic livestock guardian dog, a two- year-old Maremma, called Baci and an adorable Dixie puppy, called Dennis.

I am wanting a tree change. Tired of the city life. I also want to see some of this great country and give back to the backbone of this country. My plan is to have no fixed address for awhile. I have had a desire to work on farms for a long time and now is the time to make that move. I want to learn a whole lot of new skills and put those skills to use by helping out our farmers. I'm looking to meet so many interesting and fabulous people and Wwoofing seem like a great way to do that. I'm wanting life to not be predictable and not the same #%*! different day kina of thing. I want new people, new landscape, new horizons, new challenges

I have no experience in farming and I don't come from a farming background family. Joined WWOOF to learn organic farming from experienced farmers hoping one day I can own a farm for myself and be a farm host on WWOOF to teach others.

Originally, I was inspired to start WWOOFing by my older sister, who spent months WWOOFing in the UK. Since then, I have learnt so much about the world, the Earth and myself. There is also a certain sense of adventure that comes with WWOOFing, with unexpected changes in plans, deep connections and the Universe always presenting me with new lessons to learn. Plus, everything I learn while WWOOfing is directly related to my uni degree, so thats an added bonus!

Keen to learn garden/farming/sustainability practices. Enjoy outdoor work. Meet like-minded people.  Good way to see different parts of Aus.

It's time I started to learn how to grow things and live less from supermarkets. This has been on my mind for too long, and I think now, with what's happening with this crazy virus, it's time for me to embrace living in an alternative way.

I think WWOOF is a good way to make yourself useful and get to know about permaculture, local life, people and the country at the same time. I got very much interested into permaculture during my first WWOOF stay and I would be happy to start my own veggie/fruit garden when I get back home.

I'm very keen to get back into farm work after travelling overseas. Although I am originally from Australia, I have found that WWOOF isn't just for travellers and is a very useful resource. As someone that has few connections to farms (having grown up in Melbourne) I have found that WWOOF can connect me to smaller farms that I may not otherwise have had access to!

We live on a 12 acre property in Waroona which has been an ongoing labour of love for the last 6 years. Our vision is to create a mostly native garden, that will eventually be open to the public for weddings and small retreats. Our journey started 6 years ago on a bare canvas that was originally a dairy farm with no trees. We have been learning new skills as we go along and see WWOOF as a great way to teach what we've learnt and also learn other skills from our WWOOFers. I believe everybody has something to teach AND something to learn. We are looking for people who would like to share our space and help around the property. Tasks include gardening, painting, building and a myriad of creative projects still waiting to be born. We are open to other peoples creative idea's, suggestions and skills. In return we offer great food, music, conversation and a great place to relax when not working.

We are travelling round Australia for a year after having completed year 12. We have a troopy that we set up for camping. We want to meet new people, make connections and friends, see new ways of working on the land and anything you guys have to offer!

Yandoit Farm is a beautiful 140 acre organic natural farm in Central Victoria and is part of the thriving local communities of Castlemaine, Hepburn & Daylesford. We follow permaculture principles and best practice regenerative farming techniques. We embrace a natural life connected to the land as a path for fun, health and happiness. Our farm is a positive, supportive place where everyone feels hugged. So come and experience great community, learning, conscious & sustainable farm life and lots of fun.

I hope to learn new skills and meet new people. Plus, see different parts of Australia. I joined after I met someone who had also done WWOOF and recommended it as a way to see the world in a supportive way.

'Cowsnest' is a community farm, conservation area & wildlife refuge. Cowsnest was founded 1975 by a group of young people who wanted to create a place where people could come and live close to nature. The farm is a refuge for both people and animals. There are several occupied houses on the 830 acre property. There are milking & beef cows, pigs, ducks, gardens, orchards, chickens, preserving room and a wildlife sanctuary.

We used WWOOF Australia before and loved it. It is a great opportunity to meet locals, to get to know the culture and help out on beautiful farms. We both love animals and met between golden retriever puppies.

I have joined wwoof to meet the people who are interested in me and my journey round Australia as much as I am interested in their story. What has bought you to this point? I believe that travel should not just be for the wealthy and see the woof scheme as a great facilitator in dispanding that myth. I believe that the scheme is about good experiences and interactions not just cheap labour. I will work hard but only if I think the attitude and outlook of the host is viewed as a reciprocal and fair exchange. happy to work 5 hours a day on average with days off to enjoy the local area and surroundings. But the work must be varied and interesting, that being said I do know the nature of a fair days work as have worked hard my whole life. I am happy to undertake tree work this would be at a reduced rate, but enough to cover my skill set and maintenance of my gear. If this is of interest let me know.

I joined WWOOF because it's an awesome way to travel saving money while being able to help other people at their properties!
