My property has been different since 4th January last year when a savage bushfire wiped out every square cm of its 175 acres. I always wondered whether established rainforest would burn easily, and I learned that if the fire is hot enough, the inherent damp in the environment makes virtually no difference to how combustible it is. It is still beautiful with a new rugged kind of beauty - the beauty of a survivor. It is largely ancient rock formations, and you can see the rock so much more now that it isn't draped in greenery. It has been amazing to see how quickly life has sprung back, though, as green sprouts emerge and take off from every nook and cranny. Here as a WWOOFer you can experience a pioneering lifestyle, living simply, very simply, without power and with variable phone and internet access. Sleep in your own tent if it has sewn-in floor, or in basic safe shelter provided and help develop a fabulous rainforest property on which I plan to establish accommodation for homeless young people. Tasks? You name it . . . previous helpers have gained skills in natural building (both earth building and construction with timber-in-the-round and dressed timber), how to fell and bark trees, how to build a professional looking deck using felled timber for the structure - also sheds, tank stands etc. Help to create our Cob buildings - currently in the planning stage. Stay a while and learn how to build a Cob house!  It's not as hard as you think. Previously we were developing an organic garden following permaculture principles, however that infrastructure was lost in the fire and so now we are starting all over again. For the time being, the emphasis is on getting infrastructure rebuilt, so there is accommodation and water available for a start. Most of my WWOOFers have had little or no prior knowledge about building, and they have come away with good knowledge and skills in a matter of days or weeks. I'm happy to say they have frequently commented on what a great experience it was. I look forward to hearing from energetic, willing helpers.

It's the view! 41 ha (103 acre)  farm overlooking the glorious, green rolling hills of South Gippsland. Enjoy the  variable weather, stunning sunsets, huge sky and sparkling stars. We've Busy Bees, relaxed, inquisitive Black Angus, Hereford and Black Baldy Beef cattle, Black faced Suffolk sheep and quite a fruit/berries/ herb/vegetable garden. Wildlife abounds as we plant more indigenous species along our waterways. An ex travel planner ( helpful for ideas) and engineer, we've travelled extensively in Australia and overseas. How to get here: We are 2  hours East of Melbourne. Can pick you up in Leongatha ( bus from Melbourne), or from the train in Trafalgar or Morwell. There are also Buses from Wonthaggi via Inverloch and Leongatha to nearby Mirboo North. Or from Traralgon and Morwell. If you want an interesting, varied, enjoyable experience, our farm is it! We welcome WWOOFers looking to experience a different life.

To learn some new skills whilst contributing to the community meaningfully. I have had friends do WWOOFing experiences before and they have said its such a great way to do both of these things and everything in between 🙂

WWOOFing in all its various forms has been part of our world for almost 10 years. Needless to say we love it! In amongst plenty of hard work we've met some wonderful people, learnt an incredible amount both in terms of farming practices and different cultures and ways of life.

Great opportunity and reason to travel, spend time in nature and connect with people. I am keen to be involved in hands on work that supports others to build and maintain their sustainable living practices, learning along the way. Overall, I hope wwoofing will be an inspiring and energising experience.

At the moment, I find myself at a crossroads in life. I am looking for work and considering study options. I don't wish to return to the public service, yet I don't know what other path to take. I think that it'd be a good thing to meet some people through WWOOF, see some more of Australia, and doing some outdoor work again.

Keen to learn garden/farming/sustainability practices. Enjoy outdoor work. Meet like-minded people.  Good way to see different parts of Aus.

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.

I want to learn about Organic Farming through practical experience and expand my knowledge of plants. I would like to learn some new practical skills. I would like to meet and work with like-minded individuals who care about the way we look after our land. I would also like to see and experience different parts of the world through WWOOFing

High Valley Garden Pty Ltd - pesticide free property growing 180 varieties of vegetables and 82 varieties of fruit for own use and local sales in the Omeo, Vic region. The property is off grid, relying on solar and rainwater catchment. My wife and I take pride in growing almost all our own food throughout the year (with the exception of ice-cream and chocolate) and enjoy the mountains in which our little hobby farm is nestled in. We love cycling, running and bush walking and a vegetarian diet of super healthy organic food, picked fresh each meal. In our spare time we work for a non-profit helping survivors of human trafficking, as well as some gardening odd jobs around the area.

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 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 have a long term plan that I am really hoping to achieve, and by joining this program it will give me the opportunity of learning from multiple farmers and gaining as much knowledge as possible. My dream is to run a bio-dynamic, self sustainable farm that has a small restaurant on the land, directly supported by the farm. If there are farmers that are seeking a young, hard working girl who is eager to learn and be taught, I am so ready to move my furniture into storage and jump on a plane to wherever you are if need be.

I've joined WWOOF because I'd love to learn more about growing organic food. I've worked a bit on our home veggie patch and have inherited some wonderful tips from my mum but I'm keen to get amongst it and get my hands dirty on a farm. I've long been passionate about supporting local growers and would love to learn more from some wonderful hosts and offer a helping hand wherever possible!

Mount Murray Farm is 790m up on the edge of the Illawarra Escarpment on 25 acres of rich volcanic soil. We host workshops and are currently developing our permaculture plan. The farm has Chickens, Sheep and Alpacas and is home to four dogs and three indoors only cats. The wildlife here is exceptionally diverse, including wallabies, wombats, and abundant bird life. We need help with the gardens, helping with the livestock and implementation of the permaculture design. We are not far from the coast, 6klms to the town of Robertson and one hour and forty mins from Sydney.

We grow a wide range of fruit & vegetables on our Organic property which is 12 kms from the small town of Wirrabara in the Southern Flinders Ranges. Our place is surrounded by woodlands & an abundance of local wildlife. We sell our produce directly to our customers, attend farmers markets & we also produce dried fruits & jams. You will be offered a great variety of jobs & have the opportunity to be involved in most aspects of our work. We love to cook & are passionate about feeding people well. O'Reilly's Country Table is a farmhouse dining experience we offer. Accomodation for 1-3 people in our home. In summer we are happy to consider extras if you have your own tent or camper. Mixed diet/vegetarian OK. Sorry, no children. Smoking OK outside in the house garden. Short or longer term stays are welcome. Please visit our website and like our FB page for more info about us.

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.  

After 4 years of studying am very eager to get out of the city and away from theoretical concepts and into the natural world with real people working hard to solve issues around food production. I cannot wait to have my hands in the soil rather than typing away on a laptop all day. Through WWOOFing I hope to gain an understanding of the real life practise of organic farming. Given I grew up in Victoria, I am not so much interested in a cultural exchange or spending time doing 'touristy' things but rather working and learning from growers and farmers. I do hope to one day own my own land and have my own kitchen garden and so (rather selfishly) also hope to learn a few tricks of the trade for my own food production. I currently have leafy greens growing out of planter boxes in my tiny garden out the front of my unit in the city and it ain't cutting it!

We're looking for a variety of farm experiences to learn skills to be able to start up our own organic regenerative farm. We'd also like to help contribute to other families in their farming journey.

We both wanted an opportunity to meet different people, to lend a hand and learn their ways of organic agriculture. It would create a level of intimacy and purpose to our travels. We hope to learn how people go about contributing to our populations food or feed themselves, from paddock to plate with minimal impact on the environment. To open our minds to alternative practice and getting us in touch with the work that goes into our food. Develop an appreciation for our meals and a respect towards the land it comes from. And SIMPLY we just would like to get our hands dirty and then share a rewarding meal and beverage with the hosts post our hard days work. To share our stories and have a laugh.
