David Haldane Winterton

Personal Bio

I am quite earthy, relatively practical and passionate about sustainability – finding a middle way as I think kids should be able to play under a sprinkler.

I have experience in gardening, hospitality and catering, event management and building which makes me handy about the place. The boot of my “Peugute”307 is currently set up to carry a range of tools that makes it possible to work as a handyman/gardener.

I enjoy problem solving and using design thinking to come up with innovative solutions. I find real satisfaction in working in small teams. I have a BA (Communications) and Master of Environment, 2 permaculture Design Certificates along with a Cert. IV in Bush Regeneration.

I am qualified and experienced in photography, diverse media and writing. I enjoy cooking for other people and am able to cook a range of tasty and wholesome foods.

I have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) and full Driver’s Licence. I look forward to the opportunity of working with people who care about making this world a better place to live.

Why I joined WWOOF

I have previously WWOOFed in France and always enjoy visiting my rural friends where days are often spent working alongside them on gardening and building projects.

I am currently considering options for moving to the country and find that you can’t beat the experience of living in communities to learn more about them.

I joined WWOOF Australia to further develop my skills by being directly involved in regenerative agriculture and permaculture projects.
