There is always weeding, pruning, compost to spread & some house maintenance. Accommodation for 2 in separate room with sofa-beds. NSI. I welcome people with a great outlook on life & good cooks. St Peters is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is 7 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district. We are very close to Sydney and in St Peters we have an incredible Rock Climbing Walls and beautiful beaches, Churches, and of course we are not far from the Sydney Opera House.  

I would like the opportunity to see places I've never been to in Australia. I love meeting new people and finding new ways to live life. Being a chef I would like to know more about our farming industry in Australia and how to grow fresh produce.

I joined WWOOF to learn about some different techniques! In general market gardening related stuff, but I have lots of interest in bio-dynamic farming and the usage of livestock, amongst other things like anything mechanical that I can learn, irrigation systems and building structures! I have some experience driving tractors, using a variety of machinery but I am happy with just my hands unless that kind of help is wanted!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We appreciate help, enjoy young people and having an excuse to visit the beautiful and interesting places Adelaide, the hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia have to offer with them. Due to the corona virus all our booked overseas helpers had to cancel their flight to Australia. The first time in Years we might at times be without helpers at all. Some local Australian helpers, unable to go overseas are now filling the gap which is very nice as we used to have overseas helpers only before. Please read through all the text below and only apply if you think this is for you. We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angas River running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable gardens with free roaming bantams, big layer hens, a Muscovy duck, flower beds, lawns as well as two goats on paddocks and a cute house cat. 1 of our 4 kids, Katharina, is living next door with her partner. Bernward is semi retired but still runs a sustainable architecture and building consultancy business part time from offices attached to the home. Barbara works at the local hospital. We have been accommodating helpers since 2011  through various help exchange sites. If you want a break from travelling in a non judgmental  friendly  family environment and you are open and self-motivated, this is the place for you. This is not an action or party place but rather a place to relax and get creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, write and get back to nature. A big woodworking workshop invites creativity. I enjoy teaching woodworking skills to our helpers with the option to learn how to fit out campervans and tiny houses. A couple of times a week we heat up our Sauna and helpers are welcome to join. Help is always needed in the garden & paddock, picking berries & apples, looking after animals, weed control, making firewood, compost, cleaning up sheds & around the place, sometimes on a sustainable building site. We live 45min by car from Adelaide, 45min from safe swimming beaches & 45min from the surf, so we are pretty central. Accommodation  for 2 in separate stone cottage & own room in the main building. All share in home cooked evening meal. Mixed diet. No smokers please. Longer stays (min 3 weeks) preferred after initial few days. Please contact us via email only.

Small Bio-dynamic property in beautiful artistic Deloraine, living & gardening for food & beauty in harmony with nature. Large vegetable garden, orchard, herbs, flowers, hothouse, geese, beekeeping with natural warre beehives, solar, sustainable building projects & maintenance, artistic projects & a magical rescue greyhound dog. Good place to learn about Bio-dynamics. Seasonal & joyful work: gardening, harvesting, preserving, fermenting, artistic projects, building and home maintenance. I am a therapeutic dance teacher & work with arts & creativity.  I enjoy dance, meditation, bushwalking & creativity. WWOOFers welcome to join in on these activities. Accommodation for 1-2 in cosy barn or in the house. Shared meals, meat & vegetarian. No children. No smoking on property. Longer stays after initial stay.  2 min walk into beautiful town & walks by the river that has platypus. I think the best qualification you can learn as a gardener is how to listen, attuning to your environment, taking time.  What is the earth, this flower, this piece of soil telling me?  & how can I respond to care for this earth/nature/creature from that listening. I'm passionate about nature & our environment & keep learning how to live more simply on this earth.  I love my work with arts, creativity, dance & meditation, inspiring people to live well & live their best lives. Happy to host WWOOFers who are working or studying remotely, I like long term WWOOFers so if you are looking for a home in a beautiful community & some work alongside your work or study,  please be in contact. I prefer initial contact via message/email. Look forward to hear from you, Stephanie

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. Longer stays negotiable.

I joined WWOOF to seek farm work and enjoy country living. I am particularly interested in permaculture and organic farming techniques. However I’m open to any new learning while l work in a farm. I’m hoping to contribute to your farm and agro business. I look forward to meeting you.

I’m really hoping WWOOFing can help me find the right fit for me. A one stop website for all thing WWOOFing is super convenient. WWOOFing will help me be able to have a better work/home balance. I can’t wait to learn new skills, meet new people and see new places. If all goes well maybe in the future I can host WWOOFers.

At this point in my life, I am looking for new experiences, especially in mediation and yoga practices. I completed an interior design course last year, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have significant work experience on land and at sea (I have worked on ships as crew and in housecleaning, waitressing, fishing and as an au-pair, among other things). I am open to all work and living options and locations. I love walking, the bush and the outdoors, scuba diving, snorkelling and all water sports. I have applied to WWOOF Australia because I am looking for an opportunity to meet new people and learn from new experiences.

To learn about how we can produce food in sustainable and healthy ways, to gain practical experience in working on a farm, to meet interesting people, and to give myself (and mainly my legs) a bit of a break from cycling,

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.

I stumbled upon it when I was researching possible things to do. I joined because I am also very interested in the environment and am studying it at university next semester. I am hoping to have fun and gain some experience in a different field of work.

I think WWOOF is a good way to make yourself useful and get to know about permaculture, local life, people and the country at the same time. I got very much interested into permaculture during my first WWOOF stay and I would be happy to start my own veggie/fruit garden when I get back home.
