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've joined WWOOF because I have recently graduated from uni and am now seeking new adventures, skill sets, and connections with amazing people and places.

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.

For our 12 month van trip it seems like a great way to learn some practical skills and see some different ways of doing things that maybe we could incorporate into our own little garden at home. We would love to start keeping bees and chooks in our yard to start 'closing the loop' in our backyard.

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.

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.

Reclaiming paradise, a once weed infested cow paddock is being lovingly transformed into native habitat & permaculture haven. Koalas, echidnas, wallabies & birds aplenty. A 1.5km pleasant walk or bike-ride from Lismore CBD Accomodation in house, or plenty of room for camping. Work incl. mulching,building, weeding, planting, building.., depends on your skills & what you like to do.. WiFi, Bicycles, Mainly vegetarian meals.

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 joined WWOOF because of the whole idea of learning and helping and working with others. I'm also always excited about new experiences and learning new skills. It's also a great opportunity to do so by helping out, sharing, and meet new people. It would be an amazing way to experience Australia differently as a last experience there before moving back to Europe. Working with very produce-focused restaurants around the world these past few years, a more hands on experience, learning about general farming and organic practices makes a lot of sense.

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 had joined WWOOF in NZ. It was very nice experiences. That's why I would like to join WWOOF in AU again. I would like to know about livestock in AU, and see them as well.

Note: We can sign 2nd-Year VISAS for bushfire recovery volunteers. We run miniature belted Galloway cattle on 3 properties (Georges creek, Tallangatta & Sandy Creek) in a very scenic pristine beautiful quiet location in North East victoria.  Close to Tallangatta township with supermarket & other facilities. Our main property consists of 150 acres overlooking Lake Hume, made up of grazing land & bushland. Livestock incl a traditional Belted Galloway cattle stud, Wiltshire Horn sheep & rare poultry breeds. We are very relaxed & easy-going, meals will be with a family of 6 (4 children, aged 6-17) so you will be part of our family. You will experience many things such as cutting firewood, fencing, animal husbandry, growing vegetables & fruit, showing cattle, etc.  Accommodation is in a cozy caravan beside our home, with wireless internet and mobile phone reception. We can pick you up and drop off from Wodonga train station or Albury train/bus station or Albury airport. Recreation activities in the area include fishing, kayaking lake, and rivers, bushwalking, bike riding on a rail trail.

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.

We want to share our passion for cuisine, to learn on organic farms about methods (permaculture, regenerative agriculture, pick in the wild...), to travel to new places, to meet people and practice english...

We want to learn about this country's culture, and wwoofing is one of the best way to do so by working with passionate people and with the opportunity to travel around the country. To be honest, we don't have any experience on working in a farm, but we are eager to learn and ready to improve. Our english isn't the best, so we wish to improve it by talking with people.

I joined WWOOF because I do not just want to be another tourist in Australia. I want to experience the country, its people and culture with a more concrete approach. After a ton of research, I came across WWOOF and it seemed like what I was looking for.

Now I'm travelling in Australia with my girlfriend, Sarah with our Working Holiday Visa, to work in a winery during the Harvest. Before and after the harvest time, we travel and discover Australia, in our car, and in Tasmania ! Wwoofing it's an occasion to meet Australian people and nature, work and discover this amazing country ! We have our own car and we are ready to work !

To see more of Australia, meet new people, educate ourselves about where our food comes from and to learn about farming practices that are good for us and the environment.

My true passion has always been with animals and nature. Being with and taking care of animals is what instantly reloads me with energy and makes me truly happy. Back in Sweden I will eventually start my education to become a vet nurse. Being outside in nature is also something that I always loved, wether it is an adventure, such as hiking, climbing, diving or sailing; or simply just working outside, I always loved it. Anyway, right now things are not as they used to be for any of us. I'm still here in Australia trying to find a place to stay and a job anywhere in New South Wales. I've mainly been working as a waitress in Sydney these couple of months, but with that not being an option anymore I'm hoping to find work as a volunteer on a farm for a while. I've been in a house on my boyfriends parents farm in central west New South Wales quarantining for 2 weeks, so now I confidently seek for a place that needs extra help. Hope to see you guys soon!
