54 acres, 5kms from Maldon. The property is picturesque with panoramic views, large rocky granite outcrops & a swimming hole, but very dry in summer. It adjoins the forest at the foot of Mt Tarrengower. I am in the process of regenerating large areas back to native bushland, have building projects, including finishing touches to my poured earth house and general farm work. I have clean accommodation & can adjust meals accordingly. I like showing people the many wonderful sights of the area & I enjoy cultural exchange. Can P/U in Castlemaine & Bendigo with prior notice. Maldon has a very artistic and creative community and I can play and teach the Harp.

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.

We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angus river running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable garden with free-roaming bantams, big-layer hens, flower beds and lawns, as well as  2 goats on paddocks.  I run a sustainable architecture & building consulting business from home. 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. Use of a car possible for the right person. Please contact us via email only.

Would like to explore greater areas of Victoria and see what farming is about in Australia. Also looking to meet and connect with like minded people. As above, want to get out into nature. I also really enjoy eating natural ingredients as much as possible.

I'd love to learn more about sustainability and growing food. I'm hoping to one day live alternatively, away from the rat race of cities and closer to nature and real community. Meeting new people and making new friends, learning about alternative lifestyles is also high on my list.

I joined WWOOF because I would really like to get more experience I’ll all areas of Aussie farm life in an environment where there’s someone willing to teach me and where I’m able to be a helping hand. And I’d love to meet new people 🙂

I have already been a WWOOFer 10 years ago when I did a Work and Holiday year in New Zealand. I never forgot the awesome experiences I made with different kind of people and very different life styles and always wanted to do it again. Luckily I get the chance now to make more of these great experiences.

Yangeba is on the Delatite River, close to Lake Eildon & State Forest in the Victorian High Country. I have a eucalypt farm forestry plantation growing sustainable high value timber. Help with the trees, in the vegetable garden and with horses would be great. There is abundant wildlife & birds, and I will show you around the region. Accom for 1-2 in brand new energy efficient house with great insulation and internet. You have your own bedroom, bathroom and shower, with all meals prepared and special diets catered for. I speak English, Dutch and a little Spanish. Min stay 14 days, then negotiable. NSI. Bus service to Mansfield daily from Melbourne. Will pick you up in Mansfield.

I did some WWOOFing in France and it's always been a great experience, in terms of learning, hearing and sharing life stories, and contributing to host's projects. With a project of shifting to farm life at some point, I am willing to get more hands-on experience, learn as much as I can and experience farm life. WWOOFing has always allowed me to meet new, skilled and passionate people willing to have a positive, sustainable impact and I look forward to more in Australia!

Well, when the fruit picking job that was promised fell through, a friend and I got chatting, and she directed me to WWOOFing saying how amazing the community is. So I'm here now while I have some time off:)

I joined WWOOF to help me explore the world while meeting and forming friendships with locals along the way. I do not consider myself a profit-driven person, but prioritise the people I meet and skills I learn above all else.

To do WWOOFing, I’d like to see people who care about natural and slowly life and then I want to know their local lifestyle, language etc. I’ve done with a farm job, but it was only for 2nd visa and money. I’d like to stay and learn more local style life. I think WWOOFing is more valuable than just working in a farm. It’s not about money, we could be closer and hope to be a part of family. One of my purpose that I’m here is getting opportunities working in a winery. Since I became a wine lover, I want to learn more and talk about wine.

I joined WWOOF because I have a great desire to grow food organically, live simply, connect with others, and to empower myself with skills that will enable greater self-sufficiency as I travel through life.

A close family friend recommended this organisation and it resonates so much with me and my character. I love travelling and seeing new places, but I find it so much more fulfilling if I can also give back / contribute in some way, and learn new skills or knowledge in the process. This for me adds so much meaning + value to a trip. I am passionate about nature and the environment, I'm a hard worker, and have an easy going personality. I feel most at home when i'm surrounded by trees and birds! So many things in WWOOF seem very much in tune with my values, and I'm really looking forward to getting involved 🙂

Mt Yibbi Tiny Farm is four acres of mostly established olive trees in Hallett, a small town on the Barrier Highway in the Mid North, South Australia. Hallett is a true Australian tiny town on the edge of the bush, surrounded by (sometimes snow-capped!) mountains with one pub and a general store and a beautiful public pool and very friendly locals. Hallett is at the centre of three trails - Heysen, Mawson and Dare's Hill Drive. Currently being regenerated using permaculture principles, there are various plots and plantings and experiments occurring and room for many more. Mt Yibbi is the Ngadjuri name for Mt Bryan, which is visible from the back paddock, along with the best sunsets. The farm is being developed as an Artist's Retreat and there is a library and musical instruments and visual art and plenty of scope for creative expression. Hallett is close to the Clare Valley and Barossa Wine regions, and half way between Ikara-Flinders Ranges and the city of Adelaide, which are both an easy three hours in either direction Boss J Clark is the super friendly farm puppy and there is are rabbits, hares and foxes who visit the farm, along with Mama and Joey kangaroo and an echidna, and all the birds you could want. There are sheep who live across the road, where mobs of kangaroos and emus run. There is a sunroom/office to watch the animals from with pretty good internet as well as a couch and Netflix and a PS4. The farm offers a range of comfy accommodation: a big farmhouse, a partly renovated cottage, swags with a seasonal bonfire.

I have a strong desire to learn, grow and connect though i require a lot of alone time to recharge my batteries. Looking to escape the rat race and get back to nature and my spirituality.

I’m really keen to learn organic farming techniques and learn new skills. I have a tiny bit of experience as my dad grew up on a dairy farm in Goomboorian and I spent time on relatives’ farm in Gympie growing up.

Have a free single room or have a double bed in my travel truck. For locals wanting to see different properties a gardening day visit is welcome. Urban Permaculture property near the Merri Creek on Melbournes basalt plain. Designed by two fungal ecologists. We don’t have mushroom farms but actively recruit fungi & slime mould’s to help, we also encourage native plants & animals. We have a productive fruit hedge and in summer green walls of hops. Property is a work in progress. In the fungal season there are opportunities to join in mycological field work. We also have two backyard farmers who are working towards a productive market garden in the back.

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!

We welcome you as part of the family & invite you to be involved in most activities. We have 3 acres, growing fruit, vegetables, sheep, & ducks. We also care for injured or orphaned wildlife, especially kangaroos. Help with watering, weeding, composting, animal care, pruning, planting, general farm jobs, preserving of fruit & vegetables would be appreciated. Please come with a happy outlook & sense of humour. Catch train from Southern Cross to Wallan ( 40 mins), where we will pick you up. I can accommodate students that WWOOFer during the day and can study On line during there free time. - Please call to discuss.
