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!

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.

I first joined WWOOF in NZ in 2016. It was an amazing experience. I was travelling with a small group of friends and we were able to meet some amazing people and see some beautiful places whilst learning about local culture, the environment and food production

We are an intergenerational family in the early stages of establishing a permaculture property growing a collection of produce for community farmers markets. The 1.7 hectares was previously a brickworks and so is mainly clay and landfill but it has been regenerated with local endemic species and the gradual weed removal has been by hand rather than chemical. Plans include the establishment of a yabbie/fish pond, more raised beds, a mushroom shed and establishment of production routines.

I have joined wwoof to meet the people who are interested in me and my journey round Australia as much as I am interested in their story. What has bought you to this point? I believe that travel should not just be for the wealthy and see the woof scheme as a great facilitator in dispanding that myth. I believe that the scheme is about good experiences and interactions not just cheap labour. I will work hard but only if I think the attitude and outlook of the host is viewed as a reciprocal and fair exchange. happy to work 5 hours a day on average with days off to enjoy the local area and surroundings. But the work must be varied and interesting, that being said I do know the nature of a fair days work as have worked hard my whole life. I am happy to undertake tree work this would be at a reduced rate, but enough to cover my skill set and maintenance of my gear. If this is of interest let me know.
