Search WWOOF Oz

To work in organic farms, learn heaps of new skills and meet the locals. It's also the best thing to do when I feel a little bit homesick. In some families in NZ I really felt like I was part of the family WWOOF is an amazing community

It sounds like a great way to meet people and to find opportunities to work for my keep whilst studying in Tasmania. I only need a space to set up my camper with some privacy, a garden hose and power lead and aside from that I’m pretty well self sufficient!

We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building, such as fencing. We have 1000 acres of native vegetation, 4500 acres of grazing country for farming & bee keeping, with red undulating soil. Volunteering 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.

We joined WWOOf to learn about different cultures, food practices and want to learn different skills. We are happy to return in our skills! We want to see what everyone around Australia is doing and have conversations about growing vegetables, keeping bees, making cheese! Whatever tickles the fancy!

The reason for me wanting to gain experience as a WWOOFer is because I love sharing, gaining knowledge and making friends along the way. My goal this year is to focus on myself and eat healthy, become fitter and make a connection with the land we are all on. I would like to learn as much as I can and share some of my knowledge (and possible offer massages along the way - sharing is caring, right?). I have done some WWOOFing in NZ previously and love the spirit. The best move was for me to leave the city life behind and focus on whats really important.

Keen on travelling the country and helping / learning where I can.

Beautiful 300 acre farm which we run wool sheep, alpaca, house cows, horses, chickens and bees. Although we've been farming all our lives, we've only been on this farm for a few years so we are still setting up. In addition to looking after the farm and animals we are growing vegetables and setting up an orchard.  We love our farming lifestyle and are always looking to enjoy and improve our farm. Its great having people come and enjoy the farm with us and join in the lifestyle. We are keen to explore ideas such as care farming and social enterprises. We have a nice new self contained donger set up with kitchen, toilet, bathroom, aircon for you to stay in or you're welcome to bring your own caravan etc. We will be starting our lambing season soon and it would be great to have some help checking and helping the ewes and any lambs that need it. We are also really keen to plant more trees on the farm. We have some seed and the will and just need help with getting things happening this autumn and winter so they have a good chance.

We joined WWOOF as we are currently travelling around Australia for two years and we are hoping to learn more about organic farming, permaculture, biodynamics and self-sufficiency. We also want to give our children (who have mostly been raised in the city) the experience of life on a farm, a greater connection to nature, an opportunity to build greater resilience, and an appreciation for where their food comes from and the importance of supporting sustainable agricultural practices. We also love the idea of being able to give back by working in various capacities on different farms and helping to spread the message about the importance of organic, sustainable and regenerative farming, with a view to being part of the change that we'd like to see in the world.

Learning about sustainable life.

We have already spent almost two years in Australia, mostly in Victoria. We like to travel a lot but we haven't been able to do so for more than a year. We enjoy meeting people, discovering the country and learn a lot of things. Nature lovers, we really enjoy walking and hiking or just being outside, taking care of animals, gardening and doing DIY. We spent one year in New Zealand five years ago and we did a lot of Wwoofing. We loved it ! Now our goal is to get a work visa in New Zealand and if we can to stay there for a while. Right now we want to go north to enjoy a pleasant winter after working for six months in the farm industry. On the way we would be happy to do some wwoofing. Looking forward to meeting you.

I originally joined as a WWOOFer in December 2018, in June 2021 I re-joined 🙂

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.

'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.

I love working with trees but think I may want to branch out (pun intentional) and learn more about permaculture, market gardening, organic farming, soil science, micro biology mixology. I hope to meet people with similar interests and work as part of a team for a collective cause. I hope to learn new skills about organic practices. I want to work for people who have passion for what they are doing. I have dreams of working or being part of market garden or have a small organic garden of my own one day hope for inspiration and maybe create a vision for myself in the future.

I’m really hoping WWOOFing can help me find the right fit for me. A one stop website for all thing WWOOFing is super convenient. WWOOFing will help me be able to have a better work/home balance. I can’t wait to learn new skills, meet new people and see new places. If all goes well maybe in the future I can host WWOOFers.

Wonderful, tranquil, mostly organic 6 acres located on city fringe. Accommodation is a quirky renovated caravan, with WIFI, set in natural bushland with its own bushland shower. Pool available. Fresh food, vege patch, fresh eggs and dairy and dry goods provided with occasional meal at main house. Volunteer duties are mainly in the surrounding gardens which are open once a year. Fantastic enclosed vegie patch,  goats, geese, ducks and chooks, cats and dogs.

I want to start a farm and have that be my career. I've tried a few other fields already and nothing really interested me longterm. I've always had quite extensive vegie gardens around me as a kid and as I got older and fitness became a large aspect of my life I started to get into things like Ruth stout farming, huglekulture mounds and eventually developed my own little system that blended the two with some other techniques and I've been experimenting with that system on a larger scale on the property I work at in hopes to start an organic farm in the future. I have lived from east coast to west coast and just about north to south of Australia yet sadly never worked on a farm beyond just helping a mate for a day or two so this is an opportunity for me to tick so many boxes at once and have a great time doing it.

I joined WWOOF to seek farm work and enjoy country living. I am particularly interested in permaculture and organic farming techniques. However I’m open to any new learning while l work in a farm. I’m hoping to contribute to your farm and agro business. I look forward to meeting you.

• Anyone looking for a relaxing place by the coast?
