The House of the Rising Sun. Be the first to watch and wake up to the sunrise in Australia, perched on top of a mountain on the most eastern part of Australia, at the end of a valley, in a secret, giant forest overlooking the vast, majestic Pacific Ocean, is a place called Kinabalu. Many guests & travellers guests started to call it The Treehouse - a name that has now stuck. This is a private conservation park in principle with much work to do, including gardening, tree planting & environmental repair work. Surrounded by a rainforest sanctuary & nature reserve, you can take walks into old growth forest & swim in the waterfalls, so make sure you bring your walking shoes. It has been quite an achievement, building this over the last 11 years. I am presently focused on the garden. Come and plant some herbs if you have a green thumb. See you at The Treehouse - an experience you'll never forget!

Here it is natural farming methods of producing beef,fruit and vegetables .There are large veggie gardens and an  extensive fruit orchard with a big variety of fruit trees that bear during the season-The working dogs  require years of training, there is minimal reliance on machinery but a wood splitter machine has been a boon to getting the wood supply done, an axe has proved to be out of date, the splitter surely minimises the amount of hard work. Chooks also help supply plenty of eggs when they are laying.You need to have suitable outdoor all-weather clothing-gloves/coat/sturdy boots/hat/safety glasses etc,The  capacity to be independent with transport is good for  local sight  seeing that can include koalas,lyrebirds,river walks,lakes,ocean,& mountains with winter snow.

I’m joining WWOOF because it will allow me to experience life in a rich manner. It will allow me to become more in touch with the earth and the things that really matter to me: living clean and healthy, working hard, making friends, giving back.

I love the value of giving your time and energy to others whilst learning from them. I am keen to learn all I can about working the land, being inspired, and meeting some wonderful people.

Located in Shark Creek in a dry gum forest. 20 minutes from the beaches of Yamba. Building creating a self sufficient lifestyle with plans for aquaponics etc.Two years in still building clearing and getting solar sorted. Building with my own timber and recycling. Have caravan and donga for accommodation Can show you around area beaches surfing etc . It is not going to happen quickly but with improvements everyday the place will be transformed from a shed under gum trees to a self sufficient low cost lifestyle. Away from the hustle and bustle with nature as your neighbour. We have been Bushfire Affected and need all the assistance WWOOFers can give us!

i have joined as a way to study and learn land based and practical knowledge that can be gained through hands on direct experience that is beyond the scope of our current structures of education. with the looming issues of today directing me towards the big un learning and re learning process of today to re align with more earthly and grounded values whilst connecting with like minds.

I feel happiest outside, and most productive moving and physically doing something. I also would like to do something that I feel contributes to others and to the land. I love learning and under the current circumstances feel that life-skills and survival skills are going to be the most valuable things to learn for the coming years.

We're looking forward to learning to grow food! Also we're passionate about living a lifestyle that is more closely aligned with nature and meeting the people behind the magnificent organic produce that we love. Looking to exchange some energy - very keen to develop a practical working knowledge of farming and to get our hands into the soil and to be of service in helping farmers to make the magic happen. We're looking forward to meeting you and exchanging energy

SONRISA (to smile in Spanish) is the name of our two acre property in rural Queensland. We are off grid and on rainwater for household use. Two dams for irrigation. A mature garden, veggie patch, call ducks, native stingless bee hives and an abundance of birds and wildlife. There is a private self contained cottage plus Wi-Fi available for volunteers.

Nine Planets lies at the end of the Chapman River Sanctuary adjacent Lashmar's Lagoon Sanctuary and about 600 meters from Antechamber Bay, one of the largest, most pristine and undisturbed beaches on Kangaroo Island's coast. The Chapman River teams with bream and the beach is a sanctuary for endangered hooded plovers which nest in the sand just above the high water line in late spring. Garfish, tommies, flathead and mullet can be caught from the beach if you are adept at shore fishing. Lashmar's Lagoon is a sanctuary for waterbirds and teems with black swans, ducks, pelicans, sacred ibis and other birds. In winter and spring black swans grazing in pasture adjacent the lagoon outnumber farmers' sheep. Kangaroos, wallabies and goannas usually visit daily and dozens of bird species including magpies, currawongs, superb fairywrens, honeyeaters, thornbills, red browed finches and silver eyes call in for a drink and/or bath, whilst wedge tailed eagles and the very rare white bellied sea eagle may be seen soaring overhead. At night the calls of boobook owls can be heard in the distance. It is often windy, but rarely very hot or very cold.

As I said above i have just recently built my own little camper and am looking to travel and explore all the wonders this country has to offer. While doing so I wish to learn some new skills about organic food production, land mangement, and any other skills you have to teach, the more the better! So one day I can apply these principles to own patch of land and live intune with my own moral beliefs. I see the need to source our own food and energy, to create community which shares our knowledge and skills. I hope to meet people who think along similar lines and put my time and energy in constructive projects and activities that will help people and also help heal and sustain the natural environment. In terms of lenght of stay I am pretty easy, happy to stay a few days but would ideally like to stay for a few weeks or longer dependant on the host and location. Would be fantastic to stay long enough to explore the local area and really get a feel for it.

Here at Kennedy's Lane Farm we work as a team to produce vibrant organic vegetables and free range eggs for 3 of our local Farmers Markets. We are passionate about regenerative agriculture and growing food in a way that nourishes the land as well as our community. Our farm is in a beautiful location, only 10 minutes away from the beaches and towns of Byron Bay, Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads.

We've spent almost six months fitting out our van because we love this way of travelling which allows freedom and close contact with nature. We also like the fact that living off-grid makes you realise the preciousness of energy and water resources and therefore makes you pay greater attention to your consumption. We've joined WWOOF because we strongly believe that changes need to come now regarding the environmental crisis and we want to learn skills that will help us become sustainable inhabitants of this planet, such as permaculture, organic and biodynamic farming. We are also very keen on learning natural building techniques. And if on top of this, we can have some friendly animals as roommates, that would be perfect !

TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE AND HELP PEOPLE. I have a extensive experience in Organic Food Growing Ecosystems, home building and extensions, farm building and yards, woodworking, welding, plumbing, roofing, sheep and cattle mustering etc I can teach people how to safely weld, do carpentry and also plumbing. I have a lot of patience teaching people. I have been around the World over 30 times learning from different cultures and I like to share this knowledge also. Andamooka in South Australia is an Opal Mining Town and over the years I have learned how to operate excavators, backhoes, bobcats, loaders and bulldozers which I can teach people how to use safely. I have driven farm tractors on many farms. My dream is to create a green energy powered self sustaining organic food growing ecosystem completely self sufficient and off the grid. I can provide photos and videos of my Organic Aquaponics Ecosystems Projects Worldwide. Cheers Chris

I have a beautiful property in the Noosa Hinterland. It is 10 acres. 4 acres are cleared and 6 acres are rainforest with a beautiful track and yoga deck in the forest. I struggle to keep up with keeping the track looking beautiful and clear and mulching etc. I am passionate about organic farming and learning about permaculture, biodynamic practices also so keen to learn more and develop my skills. I have some beautiful edibles on the property and growing this. I am located in Cootharaba.

James and I have both always been interested in the idea of traveling and have decided that now is the perfect time for us to go and explore the wonderful world of Australia! We both share a common interest in the outdoors and the prospect of organic, sustainable living and felt that joining WWOOF would be the perfect opportunity to both explore and learn whilst being a part of a community of like-minded people.

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. In fact my friend just turned up with his excavator and created the bones of the 'Zen' area. So completing that has just been added to the list.  The design incorporates 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, 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 a nominal cost.

I live in a city and would like my daughter to spend time in places where people don't just go to the shops for the food they want. I want to have wonderful adventures with her, and I want us both to be able to grow our own food!

I believe that this a great opportunity for me to have my hands and feet in the dirt as I do not intend to live in a big city ever again! Also a great way to meet wonderful people while on my first long solo journey.
