Search WWOOF Oz

I retreat to the universe that provides, in return I give time and compassion into anything garden, cooking, repairing, recycling, caring for animals and other fellows, clearing out old mess, reviving and restoring the old and jagged. I've journeyed through some of my lowest depths so far, and I'm here - seperate from the rat race for a more profound, embodied journey. Moving forward now knowing I can grow to learn the way of nature and become one with the universal source. SO I step into the WWOOF community, liberated and ready to hear what you have to teach me. I choose to WWOOF because its a million opportunities in one, get up and get active, stimulate my mental and a chance to meet some life long mates on my way.

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!

To do WWOOFing, I’d like to see people who care about natural and slowly life and then I want to know their local lifestyle, language etc. I’ve done with a farm job, but it was only for 2nd visa and money. I’d like to stay and learn more local style life. I think WWOOFing is more valuable than just working in a farm. It’s not about money, we could be closer and hope to be a part of family. One of my purpose that I’m here is getting opportunities working in a winery. Since I became a wine lover, I want to learn more and talk about wine.

I joined WWOOF to learn more about Australia while I travel and am out of work, to get out of the city, meet people and learn about regenerative agriculture and aquaculture. I want to own a farm one day soon too! I am in between jobs, I have been a flood engineer for a number of years but do not align with the lifestyle, do not agree with the implemented solutions and have burnt myself out from working in a city office on jobs that impact rural areas without ever visiting the site. I miss working with people and miss working on localised problems. I need a change and have always been drawn to agriculture due to my upbringing. WWOOFing for a while suits me.

We have a six acre property half way between Sarina and Sarina Beach which we purchased 14 years ago. The six acres was cleared with very little vegetation or trees when we purchased. We have created zones on the property with over 200 different fruit trees, a rain forest and many other garden zones. We are now in the process of converting our house yard to a zone 1 and make it more productive. We have a large flat that is fully self contained with all amenities adjacent to our home. We have several rain water tanks which supply the house and flat We are very fortunate to live in a community with many other permaculturists, which we come together on a fortnightly basis to swap produce, learn and share skills. Our property supports a large cross section of natural wildlife and we also have many bee hives for our Natural and pure honey supply. I use our home grown produce for our homesteading needs. Our property is on a hill with a wonderful view facing Mt Chelona hence our property is called Chelona View. We live 5kms from Sarina Beach, which is a picturesque walking and fishing beach. We are also close to Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella National Park. Airlie Beach is only hours drive north of Sarina.

I joined because I wanted to find agricultural hosts / teachers who were also interested in nutrition and sustainability and since WWOOF is organic only it seemed like a better choice than workaway.

We've designed & built our home with pentagon-shaped rooms (i.e. Phi/Golden Ratio). Philippa uses permaculture/organic principles & Darrall is a designer/academic. We both love musical/philosophical conversations. Our property is 1 acre of land/gardens for fruit & veggies in a very small village 10km from Karuah, on the main Sydney-Queensland bus route. Our home is 100m from Port Stephens inland sea with a small boat. There are dolphins, wallabies, native birds, and 1000 acres of walkable bushland nearby. A 20 min drive will take you to shops, beaches & sand dunes. Work approx. 4hrs, mostly gardening & landscaping projects. Accommodation in-house or in on-site cottage. Mixed meals. No children. Negotiable stays. See our FB photo albums.

I am going to be travelling around Australia by myself and want to connect with like-minded people and learn as much as possible along the way. I learn best through hands-on experience so I thought this would be a good way to learn while helping people along the way.

The work includes but is not limited to animal care and feeding, fencing, establishing veggie gardens and a fruit orchard, building and other day to day farm duties.

To learn more about living sustainably, to explore Australia and to connect with like-minded people. We want to learn more about organic gardening. Ideally we’d love to volunteer for a family or community that also has children so that they can be together. We would like our children to be part of the activities and events . Our family are looking to volunteer with likeminded, hardworking people who share a passion for mother nature, connection, family and traversing the ups and downs of life. We are ready to work ASAP and happy to stay on for a while if it works of all.

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

Levenvale is an original old dairy farm of the Bellingen district.  We purchased it from a family who had owned it for 130 years over 3 generations.  It was tired and needed some new life.  We took on the project in June 2019, to renovate, reinvigorate, reinvent (from dairy to beef) and regenerate.  It is organically certified (in conversion) and consists of 300 acres of lush green pasture, 200 acres of beautiful rainforest (& trails) surrounded by amazing mountain scenery (for coastal NSW terms).  5km to town, 20km to the beach, 30km to Coffs Harbour. We are a husband and wife and have 3 small children and travelling abroad has always been a big part of our lives. We hope by opening our home to WWOOFers we will make some friendships and get some help with the conversion project we have ahead of us!

We are a family owned and operated Organic Beef Cattle property located in South West Queensland between Charleville and Quilpie. We are embarking on a journey of learning and implementation of regenerative agricultural practices.

I have a keen interest in sustainability and food production, so would love to gain more experience in working on farms, permaculture gardens, allotments, vineyards etc. I also really enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places, and believe that WWOOF provides the perfect opportunity to do both!
