Our guest room has an en-suite bathroom, TV and Wi-Fi. Singles, a couple or 2- 3 friends  or families, who don't mind sharing one room are welcome. Volunteering is for about 4 hours in the morning and may include compost making, building new garden beds, fencing, digging, weeding, pruning, mulching or landscaping. You will have all afternoons and also 2 days off a week.   We are setting up a small permaculture garden and orchard. Learn about permaculture and gardening by the moon. We would love to hear from you!

We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building work such as fencing and putting up a new shed.

Volunteeering on our farm includes sheep & cattle stock work, farm chores, fencing, organic gardening, milking cows, tending sheep, chickens & turkeys, pruning trees and whatever else needs doing. At the moment we have some baby  calves that need to be fed and taken care of, cows to be milked by hand and bee hives that need to be expanded. No experience necessary, we will show you what to do! If you are interested in learning something new and getting to know what life on an Australian Farm is like, you are more than welcome to stay with us. We love to get to know different people from other countries and are happy to teach you new skills.

Beautiful, remote, beef cattle station in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.

We have a beautiful 40 acre horse agistment property, veggie garden & fruit trees and approx. 5 acres bush. 3 min drive to surf beach, bay beach & Inverloch town or 10 min drive to Wonthaggi, a larger town. Push bikes available. We are very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle and hope that our WWOOFers are also interested in living sustainably and learning, and sharing knowledge of this. There are almost always wallabies at our farm and if you are lucky you may see kangaroos, echidnas, wombats & occasional koalas. Volunteering may include harvesting, food collection, composting, mulching, hay carting, weeding, fencing, planting, food preservation.  Sometimes there is some work caring for horses: often all the work is in the garden and paddock maintenance, as the horses are mainly looked after by their owners.

We have a beautiful property in Conondale, near Maleny which is in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Queensland. 154 acres, mostly native bush but with about 20-30acres of cleared land, and we even have our own rain forrest and deer! We have recently moved here and have lots of plans! But the first thing is to get the fences sorted, and the weeds in the paddocks and the native bush. We are interested in regenerative farming methods, and are looking forward to putting these practices in place to improve the soil and native bush around us. We have a fabulous pool, tennis court and with three dams, one which you can kayak in, there is lots to do on your down time. There is a bus at our gate that will take you into Maleny which is about a 20 minute drive. We've had WWOOFers for the last 2 years out at Roma (in the South QLD outback) and would love to host more here, in this completely different environment as we learn together!

Hi all I'm Adam semi retired 58 year old, my property is 41 acres ,just west of Rosedale situated north of Bundaberg and 1/2 hour from Agnes Waters and Baffle creek.

I have just had areas cleared as its a new purchase for me,so looking for someone to help clean up the area and plant out some fruit trees, and help with a bit of fencing.

We live on a 5 acre rural block in Yapeen, Central Victoria. Yapeen is a great mix of quiet countryside within easy access to the historic goldfields and artistic hub of Castlemaine. We are owner builders and in the process of finishing a unique, off grid house. Our block has a diversity of native grasses, some large remnant trees, an abundance of reptiles and birds, resident frogs and visiting kangaroos. We have lots of plans and are in need of extra hands to get things done, but also keen for good company and to learn from and teach others. We need help with maintaining and improving the biodiversity on the block (weeding, native plant propagation, planting and watering revegetation patches and making wildlife habitat such as nesting boxes), house/shed building, animal fencing and gardening - we have an orchard and a large vegetable garden. We use organic methods only and implement permaculture concepts whenever possible. Activities you can do in your time off include bush walks, bird watching, visiting waterholes - we are close proximity to a natural swimming hole at Vaughan Springs. We have a spa/plunge pool available in the summer and a pleasant outside area for relaxing. WWOOFers will stay in a caravan or cabin with the use of our house for meals and bathroom facilities. We prefer to cook and eat together and are keen to experience cuisine from other cultures. We have a 6 month old baby and an enthusiastic 4 year old and would welcome others with small children.

We have joined the WWOOFing scheme with the aim of meeting new people and getting a better understanding of the places we travel to. We are especially interested in meeting farmers and seeing other farms to gain new ideas and perspectives.

I am wanting a tree change. Tired of the city life. I also want to see some of this great country and give back to the backbone of this country. My plan is to have no fixed address for awhile. I have had a desire to work on farms for a long time and now is the time to make that move. I want to learn a whole lot of new skills and put those skills to use by helping out our farmers. I want to develop my skills so I can farm sit, part time caretaker etc. I like Rural Aid’s Farm Army and Farm Rescues, I would love to assist more I'm looking to meet so many interesting and fabulous people and Wwoofing seem like a great way to do that. I'm wanting life to not be predictable and not the same #%*! different day kina of thing. I want new people, new landscape, new horizons, new challenges

My main objective in wwoofing is to discover a new country and a new culture. Then, helping you, while learning a new way of working will be an additional satisfaction. Finally, one of my objectives for this trip is to improve my English level, I count on you to help me progress. So, WWOOFing is an opportunity: it would allow me to discover a new culture, meet new people and share unforgettable human adventures, which is very important for me. Moreover, English is an important professional criterion, to improve myself is an objective, a total immersion in an Anglo-Saxon country is the ideal, I will be ready to make the necessary efforts to achieve this, while listening to your advice. I am and would be invested a maximum to learn by your side. For me, exchanging is a chance for many reasons, it can only be beneficial for both parties.

I really like nature and animals and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. That is why I decided to join WWOOF.

Ok I would say see above. But as a sum up the concept of helping each other out, the host with accommodation and sharing their knowledge and way of doing things and the WWOOFer with their enthusiasm, hours of work and willingness to learn, participate and engage in the person/family's life as an immersive experience, to have hosts and WWOOFers grow together within the pursuit of a similar goal.

I’m interested in learning more about Australian agriculture, nature and house holding. I figured this was the best way to go about it. The way of the regular tourist doesn’t satisfy my needs for integration in local everyday life, and besides I really like physical labour and fresh air. I’m trying to find a place close to the sea, with good food sources and foraging nearby.
