We hope to become farmers in the next few years and joined Wwoof to learn while living and experiencing this life directly. We think it’s important to do this as a family before adjusting our lives permanently. We are passionate about the health of our planet and our connection to land, and that it’s key to addressing many of the biggest issues we currently face as a civilisation. We wish to learn from the experience and knowledge from those making a life on the land and through hands-on experience....and have a great time while doing it!

I am taking a long slow trip up down and around the east coast and would like to experience both large and small scale agricultural systems. Engaging with socially responsible people and produces to enable - A desire to learn and further develop my abilities first hand from people and places. To contribute to something meaningful and more sustainable in the big picture. I love soil! I dislike the word dirt in reference to soil.

Our primary reason for joining WWOOF is to learn more about permaculture hands-on and to offer our energy and service to this cause. We hope to make connections with like-minded people and explore other parts of Australia.

I'm turning my life towards a healthier path as I don't drink or smoke anymore and trying to be vegetarian. So learning about the farm lifestyle and and knowing what I could achieve learning from the hosts itself is exciting for me and a great place to start. I'd also like to have my own farm one day. That'll be ideal.

I have come to WWOOF in hopes to engage directly with positive ecology; an interest that is not limited to one form of practice. Through engagement with prominent and emerging farming practices, I hope to discover more techniques and strategies which may bring them together. I hope to find ways of balancing cash crop seasons with cover crops and rotational grazing. I hope to find ways of practising agroforestry with high biodiversity. I wish to learn about all aspects of farming; from the hunter-gather and permaculture skills from which we began, to the organic bio-dynamic agroforests to which we will go.

The farm is 100ha on the Orara River, 25 km south of Grafton, producing tea tree oil, timber and some garden fruit. Abundant wildlife, kangaroos at the house, swimming in the river. Work includes weeding, fencing, tree planting, machinery operation, building.& garden work. I am an eco-professional & sometimes work off farm so WWOOFers should be flexible but can also help with wildlife studies. Accom for 1-3 people in my home depending on space or camp. NSI. Can P/U from bus, train or airport.

Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.  

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a good way to get much new experiences, getting connected to people, learn a lot about Australia and hopefully about myself. It is great to help people with some work and get accommodation and food. And to be honest it´s nice if you have not that much money to travel.

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 joined WWOOF to meet new people around australia,also I really appreciate and believe in the woofing way. Im a hard worker with a lot of experience and motivation, and I think I can help a lot in every place that I will work for. I volunteered in Israel and I want to do it more in my life and I think WWOOF is a great platforn to do so.

I prefer to work while doing Wwoofing because I want to be integrated in the heart of the Australian way of life, I want to exchange my knowledge, to acquire many skills concerning the work in the farm. I know it can be very varied and that's what interests me.

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 joined WWOOF through Work & Travel Company and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

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!

In February I will graduate and in March I will move to Australia. It has been a dream for too many years and at the end I decided to book a one-way ticket to Perth. I will stay there for a year ( I hope) and would like to live as many new experiences as possible. The only thing I know is that I want to live my life to the utmost and do not want to have any regrets. Since the moment I realized that, I decided I wanted a brand-new start, so here I am!

I joined WWOOF through American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) and I am interested in learning about life on Australian organic and permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. I am hard working and willing to learn.

I joined WWOOF because: 1. I refuse to be just a normal tourist, running around, photographing things and rushing on. So I want to experience Australia from the australian point of view. 2. I want to learn new things and skills, whether farming practices or skills with tools or animals. I am just open to anything.
