170,000 acre family owned cattle station in North West Qld. About 3000 Brahman Droughtmaster cross cattle. We muster only on horse back using working dogs. Cattle are handled in a quiet and controlled manner.

The property is in West Coraki, 10 minutes from Coraki, 40 minutes to Lismore, 25 minutes to Evans Head, 1.5 hours to Byron Bay, at the southern part of the Northern Rivers area. It is located on the edge of the Bungawalbin forest. 100 acres, half pasture and half bush, with a small organic garden being established. 3 friendly horses share the pastures. Endemic wildflowers are prolific and weeds are being controlled. The process of bush protection and regeneration is slow and steady..

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.

I would like to have Australian WWOOFing experiences. I like to see new and different things. I would like to have new experiences in Australia. Every area interest me as long as I learn something new! I would like to have experiences in dairy farm, cheese making, bread making, reconstruction in fire bush...

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

I want to stay with people who have the same values as me with regard sustainability for our planet. I have lots of experience in gardening and building and would like to share my knowledge with , as well as gain knowledge from my host family.

After 4 years of studying am very eager to get out of the city and away from theoretical concepts and into the natural world with real people working hard to solve issues around food production. I cannot wait to have my hands in the soil rather than typing away on a laptop all day. Through WWOOFing I hope to gain an understanding of the real life practise of organic farming. Given I grew up in Victoria, I am not so much interested in a cultural exchange or spending time doing 'touristy' things but rather working and learning from growers and farmers. I do hope to one day own my own land and have my own kitchen garden and so (rather selfishly) also hope to learn a few tricks of the trade for my own food production. I currently have leafy greens growing out of planter boxes in my tiny garden out the front of my unit in the city and it ain't cutting it!

Ive joined WWOOF to be able to see some of Australia while international borders are closed. I'd like to help out small scale producers while being able to see some of the less travelled areas of Australia. I want to primarily learn new skills and help you out as well as potentially teaching you something as well - imagine learning about preserving from a food scientist perspective!

To learn from farmers and fellow WWOOFERS and to contribute to a worthy life purpose... growing food and caring for the land and its inhabitants. I am now able to travel Australia wide, spending time on the land to understand this diverse environment. I have recently completed a number of farm sitting roles over the past two years, that primarily involved caring for farm animals and pets.

In my early younger years I couldn't achieve to do this. Now I'm ready to explore and help and meet new people and see other circumstances. Develop myself on another level and being a good member of WWOOF!

I joined WWOOF to make a contribution to sustainable farming, learn lots about it and meet new and interesting people. I am continually amazed at the beauty of our natural environment and the generosity of the people that inhabit it. One day I would like to set up my own farm and host WWOOFers.

To intersperse my time writing and researching with more physical and social activity. To be with like-minded people in rural areas and to help people on the land with their self-sufficiency, care of the environment and food production.

Located in beautiful rural village in NSW, but still close to Canberra 1.5 hours gorgeous drive door to door. Lots of restaurants, art galleries, Parliament House, zoo, Telstra tower, amazing scenic bike paths/tracks, movies-everything a big city has and more. Hoping for medium to long term person.

I really stumbled across WWOOF on my own as I was looking for volunteer/short term working experiences on farms across Australia. My brother and a few close friends are currently road tripping around Australia and I heard they were picking up work and cool experiences as they went. Naturally I went googling as that sounded so great and I was tied to Brisbane for the short term. I checked with a friend who had heard good things so decided I should sign up! I plan to spend 1-2 months (around December, January and February) similarly travelling and as mentioned above, trying out the farming lifestyle.

I believe in the near future we will have to be much more self sustaining than we are and I am looking to gain as much knowledge as possible on growing food, working with animals, building and especially off-grid living

I joined WWOOF because I have a keen passion for the environment and saving it in for future and the more I educate myself the more I realise that food and agriculture is a huge area that we need to address as a global community. I also want to travel, have an adventure on my semester off and meet new people while learning new skills and knowledge.

I have hens & guinea fowl for weed and pest control. Volunteering includes harvesting and cutting apricots for sun drying between Dec-Feb, general farm chores and maintenance and weeding. There is always something to do! Accommodation for 1-4 people in my recently renovated granny flat or in my home. Kate teaches part-time. Mixed diet. No smoking inside. Neg stays after initial visit. Own transport beneficial as I am out of town.

Located in a beautiful secluded valley within the mountains in Upper Orara, 13 kms from Coffs Harbour- a 100 acre paradise with a stunning 6 bedroom, 2 storey owner-built (me) mud-brick home including an adjoining 2 bedroom flat. A new B & B separate building under construction, only one bedroom ready now. A creek & dam stocked with Silver Perch fish, 5 cattle & 1 Quarter Horse. More cattle coming. The farm has been organic for 36 years and has much potential for growing organic fruit & vegetables with an established garden. Work includes gardening, weeding, working with horse (for experienced riders only), fencing, planting out trees, establishing garden beds, maintaining salt water pool, tractor work (only for experienced and licensed). Good manners, good attitude to the philosophy of WWOOFing is essential. (Which basically means we help each other and learn better ways to live on this planet.) Experienced in farm work would be helpful. Any carpenters, plumbers or mechanics are very welcome. I have been told many times that I am the best WWOOFer cook/chef hostess, I like to spoil my WWOOFers with nutritious and very yummy food. Organic beef grown here on the farm and fish caught from the dam on the farm or in the sea. (Fun fishing lessons on the beach.) The best pure unlimited spring water to drink, bathe in and water the gardens. 15 mins to beautiful beaches for fishing, swimming, whale watching etc

Located on a rural property in Mount Surround, 50 minutes south of Townsville, North Queensland, Wildlife Surrounds is comprised of 40 acres of moist to dry eucalypt woodlands. Adjoining the Bowling Green Bay National Park, we are home to an abundance of wild native flora and fauna, including Orchids, Cycads, Northern Quolls, and Red-tailed Black cockatoos. Wildlife Surrounds contributes to conservation of Australian flora and fauna through education, research and collaborative conservation programs. We are also establishing native gardens/plantations to provide food for wildlife. Orchard and veggie gardens are being established to provide self sustainable food for visitors.

Our main residence is located in the centre of Orange NSW. We have a permaculture garden located at home and we also have a large scale Permaculture Educational Centre Holistically managed being built on 97 acres at Cargo. There is quite a lot of mixed work available at Cargo starting with the building of vegetable gardens, service areas for composting, buildings, food forest and pathways. Accommodation consists of a caravan  with all facilities available at the property. If working at the home or café permaculture gardens then you will stay in a room located at the home. Old fashioned home cooked meals for the evening meals with everyone joining in. Length of stay negotiable.  Keen to hear from people who would like to stay long term and work with us to develop a village setting at our Permaculture site at Cargo.  Plus those of you who also can help us with garden maintenance and animal care in town at our home.
