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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I joined WWOOF in order to gain a new, more hands on experience and learn new things, which I'm always excited about. It's also a great opportunity to do so by helping out, meet new people, travel and experience Australia differently, as well as learning more about organic farming practices. My passion is hospitality but I think that learning about products themselves, farming, and get the opportunity to learn about it hands on myself is just as important as learning about wine or service or cooking techniques.

I prefer to work while doing Wwoofing because I want to be integrated in the heart of the Australian way of life, I want to exchange my knowledge, to acquire many skills concerning the work in the farm. I know it can be very varied and that's what interests me.

Shambhala Oasis is a 10 acre rain forest property in Northern NSW Rivers Region which is being developed as a Spiritual Sanctuary and Learning Centre. One component of the vision is Shambhala Enterprise Cottage Industries, which includes organic production of fruit, veges & bush tucker superfoods. We are at the early stages of developing this property with quite a lot of planting, watering, bush fire mitigation, and building maintenance to do. The property is also dedicated land for nature, and we are blessed with a huge range of native birds, cute bush wallabies and panoramic views. Suitable for mature honest people with a sincere interest in non violence, spirituality & systemic change who can work unsupervised and love wildlife. This is an alcohol, tobacco & other drug free space thats loosely run like a post modern ashram or meditation centre with simple plant based diet.

WWOOFing seems like a great way to travel and meet new people. I hope to learn new skills and knowledge along the way and experience different ways of life. I did some WWOOFing with my family when I was very young and although I don't remember a lot about it, my family tell me it was a really fun experience.

I want to have more experience working at farm. Like picking fruit, taking care animals... I want to see things that I’ve never had before. And also I want to see people who I’ve never met! That must be exciting for me.

I had joined WWOOF in NZ. It was very nice experiences. That's why I would like to join WWOOF in AU again. I would like to know about livestock in AU, and see them as well.

I have chosen the Ranchwork and Travel program in Australia because I want to get to know the farm life in other countries and to improve my skills. But also Australia is very attractive for me, especially the extraordinary flora and fauna. Being in Australia has been one of my biggest dreams since childhood. 

I hope my profile could arouse interest, I would be pleased to get to know you!
