Search WWOOF Oz

To work in organic farms, learn heaps of new skills and meet the locals. It's also the best thing to do when I feel a little bit homesick. In some families in NZ I really felt like I was part of the family WWOOF is an amazing community

We are a family farm producing an array of fresh vegies, eggs and beef for local weekly farmers market. 45 minutes from Byron Bay. 30 minutes from Gold Coast. 30 acres on the banks of the Oxley River. 4 horses, 12 cattle, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 220 chickens. Certified Organic and Biodynamic Farm.

For new experiences, to live a different lifestyle and to meet new, interesting and diverse people. WWOOFing keeps me young and connected with nature. I also feel I have a lot to offer my hosts beyond just physical kabour.

It sounds like a great way to meet people and to find opportunities to work for my keep whilst studying in Tasmania. I only need a space to set up my camper with some privacy, a garden hose and power lead and aside from that I’m pretty well self sufficient!

I have recently started to like the idea of living in a countryside and fallen in love with the farms in Australia. I own farm land in pakistan, mainly growing wheat and cotton. So I would love to learn the farming practices in Australia. Also, this would be my first real exposure to life in a farmhouse doing hands-on farming in Australia. I hope it will be a wonderful experience for me as well as the host. Looking to get along with nice people 🙂

We joined in 2011 whilst travelling through the Scottish Highlands and Pembrokeshire in Wales and found it to be a very rewarding and enriching way to learn generally and about ourselves.

We joined WWOOf to learn about different cultures, food practices and want to learn different skills. We are happy to return in our skills! We want to see what everyone around Australia is doing and have conversations about growing vegetables, keeping bees, making cheese! Whatever tickles the fancy!

I'm looking for an immersive experience to try different ways of living and hopefully gain hints about what kind of life is calling out to me. I need to gain lots of practical skills as well, and the best way to do that is through actual work with my hands. Hopefully I can be useful to the host during my stay there, doing whatever work needs to be done.

Mt Jukes Eco Retreat is a farm based on permaculture principles, 35 mins from Mackay CBD and 1hr from Airlie Beach. The property is on 7 acres, completely off the grid run on solar and batteries. We also run our own water and are growing our own food to be fully self sufficient. We hold Yoga classes here most Sunday's in our beautiful Yoga Shala.  Go to our Facebook page "Mt Jukes Eco Retreat" to view our classes. You are welcome to join these classes during your stay. We have a natural spring running through the property so you can swim all year. We have over 300 fruit tree with 50 different varieties. All food that has been planted is based off nutritional values, food is our fuel so we treat what we eat with upmost respect. All meals provided are healing and based on a 5000 year old tradition (Ayurveda). The food is vegetarian, and very delicious! Mt Jukes sits right in front of the property which was a volcano thousands of years ago, not many in this area. Myself (Dave) and my daughter (Dakota) are here most of the time. Dakota lives in Mackay though she works on the property 7:30am - 3:30pm Mon - Friday and is here most Sunday's helping with Yoga classes.  You will also be accompanied by Roko, (my beloved Groodle), 3 chickens and we also have 2 Bee hives. We are in the process of introducing more animals that fit within the system. If you like the sound of our retreat and would like to stay on the property and help us with farm duties please get in contact!

We are looking forward to having the chance to experience new places in the world. WWOOFing sounds like a great way to travel cheaply while being environmentally conscious! We are taking some time off post high school and university to do something different and interesting, see new places and gain new skills and experiences. We are very excited by the opportunities that WWOOFing offers in seeing different parts of Australia and learning unique skills and knowledge from new people. We are both very passionate about and interested in sustainability and learning new and better ways to live and work with the earth.

Domestic facilities include gas & wood fire, cooking, kero & solar lighting, plumbed showers & toilets. Beautiful drinking water. Volunteering tasks required includes help with our rainforest regeneration project, general kitchen gardening, mulching & seed collection, helping to maintain the camping & hut facilities. Accom for 2-3 in Timber Slab Hut or tent or BYO to share meals but live self-sufficient.

The reason for me wanting to gain experience as a WWOOFer is because I love sharing, gaining knowledge and making friends along the way. My goal this year is to focus on myself and eat healthy, become fitter and make a connection with the land we are all on. I would like to learn as much as I can and share some of my knowledge (and possible offer massages along the way - sharing is caring, right?). I have done some WWOOFing in NZ previously and love the spirit. The best move was for me to leave the city life behind and focus on whats really important.

I enjoy healthy cooking and am gaining more interest in organic produce and farming. I am open to learning whatever you have to offer as well as experiencing a taste of your lifestyle. I enjoy meeting new people and travelling through learning from the locals. I am yours to teach!

I am looking forward to meeting backpackers and hosts and to broaden my horizons in a community of like-minded people. I am from the UK and after completing a degree and Masters in Linguistics I am moving to Australia to explore social and work opportunities.

We are part of an intentional community 5km from Broken Head beach and less than 10km from Byron Bay. There are 11 houses spread over 40 hectares and since our beginnings nearly 25 years ago, our main aim has been to re-establish rainforest on what was bare farmland. There are now over 200 different species of bird and animal life, which have been attracted by the new habitat. Native animals such as wallabies, echidnas, goannas, and a huge variety of birds are regular visitors. Our house has been built over the last couple of years with a sustainable focus - it's completely off grid and gradually becoming self sufficient as vegetable gardens and orchard begin to mature. Our main projects at the moment involve finishing the house, establishing and maintaining gardens and building a space for chickens, so there are always plenty to do.

Friendly easy going Aussie family farm experience which has the goal of becoming 100% self sustainable in the future. We have large vegetable gardens, aquaponics, cattle, horses, egg laying chickens, and an abundance of native wildlife guaranteed to be kangaroos every morning and afternoon. Wi-fi, Netflix, Swimming pool, jacuzzi, bar, billiard table plus more. You can learn how to drive a tractor, building and construction skills, fishing and all types of maintenance work, planting mulching etc.

Keen on travelling the country and helping / learning where I can.

Beautiful 300 acre farm which we run wool sheep, alpaca, house cows, horses, chickens and bees. Although we've been farming all our lives, we've only been on this farm for a few years so we are still setting up. In addition to looking after the farm and animals we are growing vegetables and setting up an orchard.  We love our farming lifestyle and are always looking to enjoy and improve our farm. Its great having people come and enjoy the farm with us and join in the lifestyle. We are keen to explore ideas such as care farming and social enterprises. We have a nice new self contained donger set up with kitchen, toilet, bathroom, aircon for you to stay in or you're welcome to bring your own caravan etc. We will be starting our lambing season soon and it would be great to have some help checking and helping the ewes and any lambs that need it. We are also really keen to plant more trees on the farm. We have some seed and the will and just need help with getting things happening this autumn and winter so they have a good chance.

The Urban Farmer Blue Mountains - Co-Creating a Creative Space for Community to Connect. This space is in the throes of design, construction and planting. Full steam ahead over the next few weeks, so I'm getting REALLY eXciTeD. It will incorporate a Pond Performance Space (think .. singers, musicians, actors, stand up comics, storytellers and poets), Edible Food Forest (densely planted), Workshop Space, Healing Room, Breakout Areas, Communal Circle with Fire Pit, a Pizza Oven in the Dragon's Lair (it will actually be in her tummy), Bush Tucker Walk / Aboriginal Dreaming, Children's Play Space, Chickens, Ducks, Worms and Whatever other Creative Pursuits we can collaboratively add. It's primary purpose is to teach Permaculture Principles. The space is being set up so that interested parties will be able to teach what they are passionate about. The other premise is that Workshops and Performances will be offered at Nil to Low Cost.
