• A other German engineer had recommended this Plattform to get in touch with the locals. He sad: if you want to work longer and can give a hard hand then go with wwoof. So, I’m use to it to trust my feelings after a conversation. It was a very nice guy and here I am. I would love to prof myself and my abilities. And as I sad: Stay a bit longer on one area and I really like to give a hand where it’s needed. Looking forward to hear from you.

We joined WWOOF because it seems like an amazing way to learn about organic farming practices, give back to the land, and extend our travels. We both live a vegan lifestyle and enjoy eating locally and sustainably. We would love the opportunity to get a hands on experience and learn about food practices, where our food is coming from and how organics are farmed in beautiful Australia. We are looking to have fun while working hard to earn what we eat.

Coquon Farm is a small (90 acre ) property on the banks of the Hunter River just north of Maitland, NSW.  

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 was talking with my cousin about the felling I was having about traveling and she told me the name of this page. Searching on internet and looking some reviews I realise this is exactly for I'm looking for. I thing this will be an incredible experience for me to meet people and learn about the farm work.

We live on 280 acres, with 1 of 2 sons & small dog, nestled under the highest peaks of the Grampians National Park, 20 kms south of Halls Gap. We operate the Grampians Paradise Camping & Caravan Parkland, a beautiful, small camping ground with shady trees, gardens, small lake & wetlands. Native birds, animals & frogs abound. Bright starry skies. Work with us on environmental projects, fencing, gardening, maintenance, personal vegie garden and fruit orchard, firewood collection, ground works, jobs about the camping ground, occasional building projects (Aidan is very into Traditonal Timber Framing and nearly always has a project on the go). Caravan accom for 1-2 people with own cooking facilities and the use of the camp kitchen and amenities in the camping ground. Require own bedding. Campground amenities building has bathrooms and  laundry. No children. Some independent cooking and possibly some shared meals with family. Prefer No Smoking, and No Smoking Indoors under any circumstance. Can pick up from public transport at Pomonal (bus  Tues, Fri and Sun), Ararat, Stawell or Halls Gap (V Line Services - train and bus). See photos on our website. PLEASE NOTE: we have chemically sensitive family members, so will ask that no perfumes/fragranced products or scented washing powders, deodorants or shampoos are used before coming into our home. We are happy to provide unscented laundry powder, shampoo & soap as well as any advice.  Please note that some essential oils are okay, but please speak with us before using them. Having transport is a huge advantage in this location as there is no immediate public transport, and many of the bushwalks in the Grampians require a trip in the car to access start points. Having said that the new Grampians Peaks Trail, a 13 day trek through the Grampians will be passing within walking distance of our property, so at some time in the future there will be great access to this incredible walk - we will upate this note once they open the Redman Bluff section of the Peaks Trail.

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!

Our farm is 70 acres; half bush and the other half olive grove, veggie garden, chook pen, creek regeneration, paddocks, house and dams. Melbourne is just over an hour away.

I joined WWOOF because I would like to meet new people and experiences the real Australia. I would like to see more of Australia than just hostels and meet people except other German backpackers. I love the live on a farm and I grew up in a small town in Germany. That’s my I would love to work on a real Australian farm and find out about all the adventures on a farm. I would love to experience the real farm life with all the advantages and disadvantages. Additionally I want to meet the an know the real Australian people. Furthermore I really want to do something good for the environment and support organic farms with my work. Maybe my effort can help to make I small different and help the people who live on the farm.

With my wife, we want to make our children discover true nature, outside of cities, and a living close to nature, where food is cultivated and produced. We think this would be a tremendous learning for them, and for us. We are looking to stay in a wwoof for a few weeks close to Brisbane. We are expecting to work and take care of our children. We would of course need a flexible and kids friendly environment but we are really willing to bring some help to the hosting family.

We are a family with 2 children traveling around Australia to learn more about organic farming experiences. In our homeland, Brazil, we have been working with agroforestry systems for 10 years, and we are seeking to deepen and exchange knowledge. We are especially interested in learning about feijoa crops.

A close friend of us talked about WWOOF and we knew immediately that this was something for us. We love the concept and wish that this will be the way for us to come closer to the farm life and the country itself!

Because I want to improve my ability to adapt to differents situations, and also my knowledge in permaculture and sustainable houses. I would like also to improve my english with you ! ; )

I have a dream to start my own animal assisted therapy practice with Alpacas. I have a little experience with Farm life; but am keen to get a proper taste of life on a farm. This is also a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and learn from new people in new places. I'm particularly interested in learning how to handle and care for livestock to be able to bring skills back to my family who are reasonably new to the rural lifestyle.

We would like to get to know the everyday life of an Australian family and also contribute to it. We are motivated to work and we don’t want to spell our money in a hostel and wanted to safe for travel.

I joined WWOOF because I really like the attitude towards life on a farm and I want to know what it's like and what it means to live and work on a farm "at the world's other end". Furthermore I really want to get to know country and people and I love working with and around animals.

We are gradually restoring a neglected farm, a beautiful 180 acres bordering NP and close to beaches. Low-tech hard work & BD preparations are slowly producing results on our pastures. Our animals are part of the family - Josephine the milking cow, a small beef herd, chooks, ducks & sometimes pigs. Our vegie garden is established, the orchard in the making. Most of our food is produced on the farm, but fishing trips supplement our diet, which is meaty, tasty & healthy. Work incl work in pastures, weeding, raking, fencing, help in vegie garden & orchard, feeding animals and building projects. Own transport preferable to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding area. Caravan accom for a single or a couple. No children. Meat-based meals. Non-smokers only. Negotiable stays after first few days. Cannot take WWOOFers during winter.
