I'm currently living and studying in Melbourne but would love to use my university holidays to spend a few weeks out of the city with nature, making new connections, exploring alternative lifestyles, and taking on physical/hands-on work and skills to complement my university studies. Last year I spent 3 beautiful months WWOOFing in Northern NSW and another 4 months in NSW/Tasmania picking blueberries and cherries so I'm well accustomed to the outdoor lifestyle and working in a variety of weather conditions. I've also recently moved into a new house and am excited to learn new knowledge and skills to apply to my empty garden!.

I join WWOOF is it will enable me to learn more about organic farming in Australia. I volunteer in a Not For Profit farm in Singapore at least once a week, now that I have retired from my regular job as an Accountant. I also like to travel and meet people and the WWOOF experience will give me this opportunity.

Nine Planets lies at the end of the Chapman River Sanctuary adjacent Lashmar's Lagoon Sanctuary and about 600 meters from Antechamber Bay, one of the largest, most pristine and undisturbed beaches on Kangaroo Island's coast. The Chapman River teams with bream and the beach is a sanctuary for endangered hooded plovers which nest in the sand just above the high water line in late spring. Garfish, tommies, flathead and mullet can be caught from the beach if you are adept at shore fishing. Lashmar's Lagoon is a sanctuary for waterbirds and teems with black swans, ducks, pelicans, sacred ibis and other birds. In winter and spring black swans grazing in pasture adjacent the lagoon outnumber farmers' sheep. Kangaroos, wallabies and goannas usually visit daily and dozens of bird species including magpies, currawongs, superb fairywrens, honeyeaters, thornbills, red browed finches and silver eyes call in for a drink and/or bath, whilst wedge tailed eagles and the very rare white bellied sea eagle may be seen soaring overhead. At night the calls of boobook owls can be heard in the distance. It is often windy, but rarely very hot or very cold.

I want to continue exploring the Aussie scape, to invest time into properties and people who share similar values and ways of being. I want to continue to learn about different systems and place and give back what it is that I can from the knowledge and skill that I have developed over the past wee while. This platform is a way of doing and finding all this, a meeting point of my world and the world of others...which really we all share.

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.

I've always been interested in farming but never really had the chance to get into it. I'm interested in crops, livestock, food, beekeeping, winemaking, and just about everything that takes place on a farm. I'm also eager to travel around Australia, especially outside of the cities. I'm especially interested in visiting Tasmania. I look forward to helping out and learning new skills on your farm, and to having a great time with awesome people. I also hope that I can be helpful to you in a time when there's not too many travelers around.

I’ve always been interested in volunteering since I was a kid and I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories and ideas with others. Learning new skills and engaging with local community, as well as furry animal friends, makes life exciting and adventurous. I am eager to contribute, learn, and experience the self sufficient and sustainable way of life on Aussie farms.

To experience something organic where I can gain valuable and relevant knowledge of things that I consider important and life-changing. To meet like-minded people with a wealth of knowledge that they're willing to share. To connect with a variety of people and exchange stories and to have fun.

I deeply resonate with a book called Ringing Cedar - Anastasia. It talks about the relationship between human and nature and encourages that everyone should build a one-hectare self-sustained family homestead. It becomes my ultimate goal and I am going to realize it step by step. I studied a basic course about organic farming. Now I would like to learn and practice farming skills and meet some beautiful people in this network.
