We moved in to this 100 acre property, situated between Pemberton and Northcliffe in the South West of Western Australia, at the end of 2018. It is surrounded by stunning karri forrest and on the crossing of the Bibbulmun walking trail and the Munda Biddi cycling trail. We have a productive home orchard and veggie gardens, as well as ponds and a lake with marron, the largest freshwater crayfish in the world and pretty tasty. We have cows, sheep, chickens, and a couple of worm farms. Also a very energetic young pomeranian dog, Rupert. Plenty of water is also a bonus in this country. In addition to our rammed earth house, there are also 4 holiday cottages on the property. Most of the time, our helpers can stay in one of the cottages if it is not during busy holiday times or long weekends. Otherwise, they stay in our house in the spare room. We have spare bikes for our helpers, so that they can go and explore this beautiful area. Projects include: During the winter months, David is busy planting lots of trees, so you will be able to help create a lasting benefit for the future. There are trees for fodder, shelter, fruit and some for longer term timber resource. We are experimenting with regenerative farming and improving the soil with growing a diverse mix of grasses and making and applying compost teas to increase the subsoil life. Other ongoing projects: Constructing and maintaining permaculture gardens and orchards, picking berries and fruit. Planting native flowering plants for the bees, propagating and seeding vegetables. Making compost and mulching the gardens. Woodworking projects, ranging from making greenhouse to re-fitting kitchens in the cottages. Chopping firewood and collecting kindling.

I am currently in Hong Kong, would like to be a WWOOFer once Australia’s borders open. I hope to stay in different farms for 2 weeks or 1 month to know how they operate the farm and how they deal with challenges.

I have basic knowledge of nutrition and farming, I am healthy and mature with good working attitude. I hope to contribute my best to the farms and gain experiences from the works. I speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin and simple Japanese. Love to meet people and make friends, I am eager to know the life story of the hosts.

This is a 7 acre property (3 acres of forest adjoining National Park), located on the slopes of Gulaga, a sacred mountain overlooking the ocean. A small creek studded with granite boulders, tree ferns & pristine swimming holes run through the property, and a few kilometres away are endless wild beaches. Great mountain walks. We have a large Organic vegetable garden, fruit trees & chickens. Other areas are being landscaped or regenerated. We also manufacture a range of flower essences from Himalayan Wildflowers. Volunteering is varied: landscape or (organic) vegetable gardening, helping with flower essence production. Accom for 3-4 people in the house. No children. A good sense of humour and love of life a big plus. Negotiable stays. We can sign off on 88 Days, see below for more information.

To have the opportunity to live closer to nature and learn from people who grow food for a living regardless of geographical location. My first WWOOFing experience was in Awhitu Peninsula, New Zealand back in 2008 and I completed a PDC in 2016 with Milkwood in Sydney. Since then, I've also had to opportunity to visit and get to know farmers living in the interior highlands of Sarawak, who grow heirloom rice using traditional methods inherited from their ancestors.

Meet new people, learn new skills, change in scenary. Looking for a new experience just around the corner while making a difference in someone's life.

I have become a WWOOFer to reconnect with the land and learn about regenerative farming as part of my new direction in life after so long living in cities.

We joined in hope that we'd be able to make contact with like minded hosts that implement either (or all) organic, bio-dynamic or permaculture principles on their respective farms and plan out a year or two worth of experiences across Australia. From the travels and experiences throughout different parts of the country we'd like to have a good understanding of where we'd like to put down roots for our own permacultre farm. It is also very much about exposing our son to many and various life experiences afar of our current modern suburb lifestyle. New lifelong friendships would be an excellent outcome too 🙂

My sister, Rachel Shields has been WWOOFing for a long time. She drove convoy across the Nullarbor with me. She thinks this would very much suit my current position. I’m just looking to meet beautiful souls and help where I can.
