I have had an interest in WWOOF for many years now and find it to be a brilliant way to explore and be submersed in another culture. I am joining to broaden my experiences traveling, create memories, and to be able to learn as much as possible about gardening by sustainable and organic methods. I think WWOOFing is also a great way to potentially make great lasting friendships.

Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.  

Hi woofers, we are leigh and Alex, a young couple training people and horses full time on our little slice of Australian paradise. We live on 140 acres of rolling hills in Oberon New South Wales on a horse farm. We breed, train and start quarter horses with a special interest in education. And guess what? It’s foaling season!

I would like to learn about organic farming and the local life in Australia. I was a Wwoofer in 2015 in New Zealand and stayed for one week with a family. I did some gardening, weeding, animal care and played with the kids. I really enjoyed the because because for me it is the best option to meet locals and learn from their lifes. Before I will start my next job in Germany, I want to clear my mind and regain new energy with a stay on a farm in Australia. This year we would like to start planting our own veggies and fruits in Germany and I hope I will return back to Germany with more experience and useful advices.

Our farm is in a beautiful valley called Goldie, just east of Lancefield in the Macedon Ranges. We are near Wilimee Mooring, an Indigenous green stone quarry and one of the oldest in the world. Our farm is 70 acres; half bush and the other half olive grove, veggie garden, chook pen, creek regeneration, paddocks, house and dams. Melbourne is just over an hour away.

  Commonground is an intentional community committed to supporting social change. The Seymour property is used as a workshop & retreat venue for a variety of social change groups. We have developed a very attractive 95 acre property using permaculture principles. The main building which accommodates both groups & residents is made from mud bricks & recycled materials. We provide a stimulating opportunity to work with members of the community and are enthusiastic about our WWOOFers because we appreciate the opportunity for mutual exchange. (We have been WWOOF Hosts since 1993!) Work includes garden & orchard work, property & building maintenance, shared catering support. Vegetarian meals. NSI. Min stay 2 weeks. Easy 1 hour train from Southern Cross station in Melbourne to Seymour station and we are happy to pick you up.

Our farm is located 33km west of Tamworth NSW, on 460 acres. It is a beautiful part of NSW, a few hours inland from the coast and about 5 hours north of Sydney, 7 hours south of Brisbane. We live at the end of a dirt road on the top of a hill with no neighbours in site, this really is “country Australia!”. We breed horses and farm beef cattle. Our focus is on regenerative agriculture - using sustainable farming practises to improve and regenerate soils and the environment, and enhance productivity. We have owned our farm for 8 years and are building new infrastructure to improve it, including fencing and water troughs. We have around 30 horses at most times with several foals born each year. We breed quarter horses, that we then break in and train for the western sport of “cutting”, which involves working cows. You can check out our Facebook page Three Leaf Stud to see more about our horses. Rafe competes in cutting and reined cow horse when he has time, and I compete in the English disciplines of Eventing, show jumping, and dressage. So we have a range of horses, not just quarter horses, also thoroughbreds and warmbloods. Depending on the time of year, you may experience foaling season, starting horses under saddle, or horse shows. If you are a competent rider you may have the chance to ride regularly,  however this can’t be guaranteed until we see your skills in practice! A typical day here involves feeding and checking all the horses twice a day, checking water troughs and fence lines, and feeding cattle. We operate a hydroponic fodder factory sprouting barley seeds for our cattle, so seeding this, cleaning it and feeding out the fodder is a daily process. We ride most days and then the tasks vary from day to day, sometimes it’s fencing, or helping build something, fixing something, gardening, every day is different! Our house is quite modern and air conditioned, you will have your own room in our house with a beautiful view and bathroom, WiFi. We expect you to be clean and tidy and to help with things like doing the dishes, we cook and eat a mixed diet with meat and vegetables... and chocolate. We are both 40, no kids, friendly labrador called BenDog and a cool stable cat called BobCat. We treat people as we expect to be treated, and believe that in life, you get back what you put in!

We are on a flat 50 acre family farm based 20 min. drive from Busselton.

We run an organic meat and wool business on a community title farm near Canowindra in NSW. We have hosted woofers for more than 15 years. We live in a straw and earth house which we built ourselves. Andrew has a background in soil science and agriculture. Margie is a trained permaculture designer and community facilitator.

We joined WWOOF to seek out opportunities to allow us to explore Australia while working in the country. We are excited to learn about Australia's history, culture and way of life. We look forward to hearing from and getting to know potential hosts.

We moved in to this 100 acre property, situated between Pemberton and Northcliffe in the South West of Western Australia, at the end of last year. It is surrounded by stunning karri forrest and on the crossing of the Bibbulmun walking trail and the Munda Biddi cycling trail. I fell in love with this area whilst mountain biking the Munda Biddi and consider it the most beautiful forest area in WA, so couldn't resist the opportunity to come and live here when this property came on the market. We come from Europe, David from the UK and Annie from Belgium and we have traveled extensively and done a lot of trekking in the Himalayas,  New Zealand, France and Spain. But this country and forest is what we totally fell in love with. There are already very productive netted orchards and also many ponds and a lake for aquaculture. We have introduced bees and there are plenty of marron, the largest freshwater crayfish in the world and pretty tasty. We also have 7 cattle, 7 sheep, 6 chickens, and a couple of worm farms. Plenty of water is also a bonus in this country. We've got the veggie garden started and have plenty of carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, beans, chard, etc. Projects include: At this stage, from mid-May 2020, we want to focus on planting lots of trees, so you will be able to help create a lasting benefit for the future. You need to be fit as there will be lots of digging involved. Other ongoing projects: Constructing and maintaining permaculture gardens and orchards, picking berries and fruit. Planting native flowering plants to introduce bees, propagating and seeding vegetables. Powerful new mulcher has arrived and we will be doing plenty of compost making as well as mulching the gardens and laying new gardens around the cottages. Marron and fish ponds need netting fixed and we want to look at further possibilities for aquaculture. Chickens need to get food sources established, so they have more opportunities to browse. vermiculture - we love worm juice for our gardens. Woodworking shed is getting organised and with a good supply of machinery, upgrading the cottages is next : making steps, verandahs and then an outdoor kitchen/entertaining area, etc. Looking after guests in several cottages on the property and chopping firewood to build up the winter supply is also ongoing. In the kitchen, we love our fermenting: tasty kombucha with the berries that we have picked and frozen or collecting fresh from the orchard; kefir to use with our cereal in the morning. We bake our own buns and make bread with the bread machine.  

WELCOMING THOSE LOOKING FOR A SAFE HAVEN DURING THE CORONAVIRUS SITUATION. PLEASE SEND YOUR REQUEST AND EXTENT OF TIME OF STAY REQUIRED. Substantial garden at residential property in rural Victoria needing help for new plantings, pruning and general maintenance and upkeep. Non chemicals used with emphasis on mulching and composting to create a healthy sustainable eco system.

I joined WWOOF to gain life experiences, for my daughter and I. We look forward to helping you improve your land, while expanding our knowledge base and skill sets.

I am currently staying on an off grid property in Yessabah, NSW and wanting to travel further up while learning lots and meeting likeminded people along the way! My intention is to get as close as I can to the Daintree <3 I have a strong desire to further my and learn new knowledge and skills in whatever way that I can. I’m a very hard worker, I’m up for anything, I’ll give anything my best shot and always will push myself to do the best job I possibly can. My happy place is in amongst nature, I love exploring new places and learning more and more about the earth that we all co exist on. I always knew that I would wwoof to travel as it has always been an option for me growing up around plenty of wwoofers and hearing their stories. Now the time has come that I can’t keep my insatiable appetite for adventure at bay!

I Joined WWOOF because despite having a top job in Melbourne city, i am constantly feeling as though there is something in life i am missing, i have always dreamed of travelling across Australia, as beautiful as Melbourne is, i feel though i am not living my Australian dream to its full potential, i hope to mix my love of helping people, working hard, travelling and meeting new people and experiences together with the help of WWOOF. I hope to meet some great people along the way and hopefully someone else WWOOFING alone.
