Family living in Suburban Western Sydney for over 23 years. Host, Rosanna enjoys using the knowledge and skills gained back in 1993, after completing a Permaculture Design Certificate Course as well as Advanced Permaculture Certificate Course. Experience also gained by WWOOFing internationally. We have several fruit trees, including some exotics and an abundant vegetable/herb garden.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We appreciate help, enjoy young people and having an excuse to visit the beautiful and interesting places Adelaide, the hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia have to offer with them. Due to the corona virus all our booked overseas helpers had to cancel their flight to Australia. The first time in Years we might at times be without helpers at all. Some local Australian helpers, unable to go overseas are now filling the gap which is very nice as we used to have overseas helpers only before. Please read through all the text below and only apply if you think this is for you. We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angas River running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable gardens with free roaming bantams, big layer hens, a Muscovy duck, flower beds, lawns as well as two goats on paddocks and a cute house cat. 1 of our 4 kids, Katharina, is living next door with her partner. Bernward is semi retired but still runs a sustainable architecture and building consultancy business part time from offices attached to the home. Barbara works at the local hospital. We have been accommodating helpers since 2011  through various help exchange sites. If you want a break from travelling in a non judgmental  friendly  family environment and you are open and self-motivated, this is the place for you. This is not an action or party place but rather a place to relax and get creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, write and get back to nature. A big woodworking workshop invites creativity. I enjoy teaching woodworking skills to our helpers with the option to learn how to fit out campervans and tiny houses. A couple of times a week we heat up our Sauna and helpers are welcome to join. Help is always needed in the garden & paddock, picking berries & apples, looking after animals, weed control, making firewood, compost, cleaning up sheds & around the place, sometimes on a sustainable building site. We live 45min by car from Adelaide, 45min from safe swimming beaches & 45min from the surf, so we are pretty central. Accommodation  for 2 in separate stone cottage & own room in the main building. All share in home cooked evening meal. Mixed diet. No smokers please. Longer stays (min 3 weeks) preferred after initial few days. Please contact us via email only.

Belted Galloway cattle farm in the southern highlands. We milk these cows, too - they love to be patted. We also raise chickens for breeding and eggs, have a Permaculture veggie garden, and have just planted hazelnut trees. We are at our next stage of bushfire recovery having completed fencing and felling some trees. There are many tasks still to do even though it has rained and looks green. We need to expand the permaculture areas, constant weeding, pruning fruit trees, planting bare rooted vines and transplanting fruit trees. We also maintain a small wildlife reserve on part of the farm and look at grasses to make sure that the wombats we co-exist with have enough to eat. Volunteer tasks include feeding chickens, tending veggie garden, moving cattle to strip graze, milking cows (in non drought situations), weeding, collecting firewood, composting & worm farming. Accomodation for 2 within our home. Shared meals, all cook together. Mixed diet. Vegetarians & vegans catered for. Children b.a. No smoking on property. Initial stay 12-14 days. Longer stays negotiable.

Holmbrae is a small farm specialising in free-range egg production. Located in a beautiful valley on the edge of wilderness. We also have an organic, no dig vegetable garden in Taralga that grows fruit and vegetables for our hotel and restaurant - the Argyle Inn.

Friends of us told us about WWOOF and we knew ‚we wanna try this!‘ As I wrote above: we love the nature and are super excited to learn new things. Both of us are not shy to do hard work or get dirty hands. We would also like to get to know Australia through locals and discover how they live and help out how they work.

I really love animals and being outside and that is one reason why I chose WWOOF for my year abroad. Another aspect is that I would like to learn new skills in terms of animal caring (or sustainable farming) and would like to be part of the team/ family where I stay and of their daily life instead of travelling and working alone.

My husband Andrew and I (Sally) live in a contemporary self-sufficient home on 11 hectares in the Clare Valley in South Australia. We have a large fruit and vegetable garden, flower beds, bees and sheep and soon-to-be chickens. We like the quirk in gardens and have many more projects in the pipeline. We also have a pizza oven on our European style terrace at the rear of our home and an elevated deck floating over the valley for pre-dinner drinks and moon and star gazing. A deep rain water bath and pebble open shower await WWOOFers at the end of the working day.

Friendly easy going Aussie family farm experience which has the goal of becoming 100% self sustainable in the future. We have large vegetable gardens, aquaponics, cattle, a horse, egg laying chickens, and an abundance of native wildlife guaranteed to be kangaroos every morning and afternoon. Wi-fi, Netflix, Swimming pool, jacuzzi, bar, billiard table plus more. You can help with building and construction projects at times, and all types of maintenance work, plus planting, mulching composting etc.

I got to know WWOOF through a friend who once worked on a farm in Canada. She was very enthusiastic. I like the idea of doing something different from my job and broadening my horizons. I like animals and working in the garden. I like to be outside and am not afraid of work. I hope to get to know real life in Australia through WWOOF and live with the host family for a longer time.

During our year of exploration, we hope to have many adventures and meet a variety of likeminded people along the way. We plan to volunteer and work through the WOOFING community, where we can learn new skills and be a part of a community instead of just passing through. We are excited!

The House of the Rising Sun. Be the first to watch and wake up to the sunrise in Australia, perched on top of a mountain on the most eastern part of Australia, at the end of a valley, in a secret, giant forest overlooking the vast, majestic Pacific Ocean, is a place called Kinabalu. Many guests & travellers guests started to call it The Treehouse - a name that has now stuck. This is a private conservation park in principle with much work to do, including gardening, tree planting & environmental repair work. Surrounded by a rainforest sanctuary & nature reserve, you can take walks into old growth forest & swim in the waterfalls, so make sure you bring your walking shoes. It has been quite an achievement, building this over the last 11 years. I am presently focused on the garden. Come and plant some herbs if you have a green thumb. See you at The Treehouse - an experience you'll never forget!

Our small hobby farm is 2.5 kms from Mullumbimby town centre, 10 kms to Brunswick Heads beaches & the beautiful Brunswick River, and 26 km to Byron Bay. On small 2 acres, we have chickens, some fruit trees, a vegie garden and an adorable dog, and the grounds look almost like a park. They are well established, so work is usually maintenance of home and garden. Annette is from Germany and works part time as a GP. We have tenants and family going in and out, and I love company and good travel stories. However I am also often busy, so WWOOFers need to be able to be self contained unless they have own transport, or a happy to walk to Mullum and catch the bus to Byron Bay or cycle to Brunswick Heads. Accommodation for 1-2 WWOOFers (prefer over 23 years old) is in own room with queen size bed. Diet is mostly vegetarian but occasional fish or meat. Prefer non-smokers. Mullumbimby is an Australian town in Byron Shire in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. It promotes itself as "The Biggest Little Town in Australia". The town lies at the foot of Mount Chincogan in the Brunswick Valley about 9 kilometres by road from the coast.
