Belted Galloway cattle farm in the southern highlands. We milk these cows, too - they love to be patted. We also raise chickens for breeding and eggs, have a Permaculture veggie garden, and have just planted hazelnut trees. We are at our next stage of bushfire recovery having completed fencing and felling some trees. There are many tasks still to do even though it has rained and looks green. We need to expand the permaculture areas, constant weeding, pruning fruit trees, planting bare rooted vines and transplanting fruit trees. We also maintain a small wildlife reserve on part of the farm and look at grasses to make sure that the wombats we co-exist with have enough to eat. Volunteer tasks include feeding chickens, tending veggie garden, moving cattle to strip graze, milking cows (in non drought situations), weeding, collecting firewood, composting & worm farming. Accomodation for 2 within our home. Shared meals, all cook together. Mixed diet. Vegetarians & vegans catered for. Children b.a. No smoking on property. Initial stay 12-14 days.

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.

We joined to learn more about farming, meet interesting people, experience many different ways of life, expand the learning and experience on our trip around the country, to give back along the way.

Because we LOVE home grown organic veggies and food in general. We have skills to share and are interested in learning about different organic farming techniques. We look forward to exploring Aus and meeting like minded people along the way.

We have a passion for travel and meeting people, and decided that we wanted to challenge ourselves in a way to push ourselves out of our comfort zones. When we came across the opportunities that WWOOF provided, it was a perfect fit! We loved the idea of slow travel while gaining insight into the life of the farming families across Australia at the same time. We are passionate about the environment and sustainable living and are eager to learn more about this lifestyle through the eyes of the people that work to put food on our tables. By joining WWOOF we hope to meet a diverse range of new people and become a part of their lifestyle while offering a helping hand wherever we can. Through our work and travel, we aim to learn a range of practical skills that we can apply to our everyday lives and into the future all while forming lasting relationships.

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

At the moment we have some baby lambs and calves that need to be fed and taken care of.

We love to get to know different people from other countries and are happy to teach you new skills. We hope that you will have an unforgettable and unique experience with us on our rural farm in the Australian outback. We generally prefer longer stays.

As I said in my profile, I want to go back to nature and I love the concept of WWOOFing. The idea to share activities with people in this way is just a dream. It will be also an opportunity for me to discover Australia and to improve my English. A friend of mine did it and she told me that it was the best experience ever.
