A wooden house on a cliff over the Coral Sea, 18 km north of Cairns. Trinity Beach is a peaceful, picturesque beach village with safe swimming year round. I am a writer and this is a vegetarian household with animals, close to nature and natural places. Work times are flexible and WWOOFers help in the garden and with whatever needs doing. I prefer one person at a time. No Smoking. I  am a advocate of animal rights as well as activists for animal.  

We are on 3.5 acres, which doesn't sound like a lot but we are doing plenty on it. We keep chickens and ducks for eggs and meat. I regularly raise chicks and ducklings to keep the supply up, and there is an almost monthly 'dispatching' day. We also keep goats, for milk and cheese (although they are dry at the moment, and due for kids in Feb 2021). They help keep the scrub down as well as being super fun to watch. The vegetable gardens and fruit trees are many and sprawling.  With a variety of organically grown produce to feed my partner and myself.  The aim for our property is to become as self-sufficient as possible, to reduce the amount of waste that comes onto our land, and reduce the amount of money we spend on store bought products. We recycle, reuse just about everything, food scraps go to the animals, and what ever we don't eat gets composted (including bones!). Check out our profile for more info 🙂

A biggish property on the rugged Tasmanian West Coast. The house is an old Tasmanian homestead overlooking Mount Black. The famous Cradle Mountain and lakes on its doorstep. It has native gardens, fruit trees, vegetables and herbs. Beautiful native birds and animals visit day and night. There are lots of little sitting areas and a place to camp outside and enjoy the view. There are 3 wood stoves for those cold days and nights. The combustion stove is used for cooking in winter. I am an active hiker and environmentalist and love exploring Tasmania.. The natural world is a very big part of my life. It is important to me to live in a sustainable way, live with nature. And Enjoy Life!

It is a 1/2 hour bus trip from Gosford to the central coast beach area of Terrigal, etc. We are not commercial producers but grow our own meat, fruit & veggies organically & Bio-dynamically. Work includes collecting cow manure, weeding, mowing, mulching, planting & harvesting. We require WWOOFers to work 4x8 hours per week, which gives you time to see our beautiful coast at your leisure.

I join WWOOF because I like to learn more about organic farming/gardening. I also like the idea that this WWOOFing will give me a change to see new places and meeting new likeminded people in the meantime.

5 acres, food forest, cow and calf, chooks, ducks, market garden, all using permaculture principles. Have installed swales and contours, adding organic matter, planting fodder trees and perennial seeds. Attempting to live sustainably.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We appreciate help, enjoy young people and having an excuse to visit the beautiful and interesting places Adelaide, the hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia have to offer with them. Due to the corona virus all our booked overseas helpers had to cancel their flight to Australia. The first time in Years we might at times be without helpers at all. Some local Australian helpers, unable to go overseas are now filling the gap which is very nice as we used to have overseas helpers only before. Please read through all the text below and only apply if you think this is for you. We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angas River running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable gardens with free roaming bantams, big layer hens, a Muscovy duck, flower beds, lawns as well as two goats on paddocks and a cute house cat. 1 of our 4 kids Katharina is  living next door with her partner. Bernward is semi retired but still runs a sustainable architecture and building consultancy business part time from offices attached to the home. Barbara works at the local hospital. We have been accommodating helpers since 2011  through various help exchange sites. If you want a break from travelling in a non judgmental  friendly  family environment and you are open and self-motivated, this is the place for you. This is not an action or party place but rather a place to relax and get creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, write and get back to nature. A big woodworking workshop invites creativity. I enjoy teaching woodworking skills to our helpers with the option to learn how to fit out campervans and tiny houses. A couple of times a week we heat up our Sauna and helpers are welcome to join. Help is always needed in the garden & paddock, picking berries & apples, looking after animals, weed control, making firewood, compost, cleaning up sheds & around the place, sometimes on a sustainable building site. We live 45min by car from Adelaide, 45min from safe swimming beaches & 45min from the surf, so we are pretty central. Accommodation  for 2 in separate stone cottage & own room in the main building. All share in home cooked evening meal. Mixed diet. No smokers please. Longer stays (min 3 weeks) preferred after initial few days. Please contact us via email only.

I joined WWOOF to seek farm work and enjoy country living. I am particularly interested in permaculture and organic farming techniques. However I’m open to any new learning while l work in a farm. I’m hoping to contribute to your farm and agro business. I look forward to meeting you.

"Namoorook" circa 1895, is a beautifully restored homestead on 71 acres of farm land approximately 1.5 kms from Leongatha and 130kms from Melbourne. Adopting regenerative agricultural practices, Namoorook is a mixed farming operation with livestock, organic fruit orchard and vegetable gardens. We hope it will become an example of how food and farming systems can use the power of nature to increase biodiversity, enrich the soil, capture carbon, improve watersheds enhancing the entire ecosystem.

I've joined WWOOF as a way for me to acquire new skills, friendships and experiences. I love being part of a community and get much satisfaction out of helping others. For me WWOOFing is the perfect combination of what I want at this stage of my life.

Last year I booked a one way ticket overseas, alas that dream did not come true so here I am following a different path with just as many cool options. I want to travel around to gain experience on the land, learn new skills and see different lifestyles and landscapes - I am pretty keen to see where this journey could lead. Some goals I have are to read more books, pat a lot of cows/work with animals and drive a tractor.

A disused holiday park on 8 acres of land with clean accommodation. It sits on the edge of Wilson Inlet with a small jetty. There still are four fully functional chalets.It is 9 km from the town of Denmark.There is also a trail from here that leads into the town centre.

The seclusion & privacy of 1/4 acre in the heart of town with Australian birds & wild life a plenty. A relaxed family home, with a creek & bush reserve. Hot tub, Yoga spaces & wood fired oven. Our garden consists of fruit trees, Bush Tucker, herbs, veggies, worms, bees, chooks & ducks. Must love animals and have no allergies as we have indoor cats and our friendly Labrador, Dex. We follow permaculture because we are passionate about self-reliance & futuresteading for future generations. We love growing, cooking, preserving, fermenting, medicine -making & brewing our home-grown & local produce. We have many permaculture systems in place & can show how these self-sufficient principles work in a 'normal' aussie house block in suburbia. Eg; composting, humanure, beekeeping, worm-farming, fertigation, swales, greywater, making seaweed fertiliser, wicking beds, driveway gardening, outdoor & indoor mushroom cultivation.... Other hobbies include weaving, bushwalking, surfing, music, craft, yoga, vintage cars & motorcycles, e-bikes. Work includes general tending of home & garden maintenance, making compost, mulching, digging, weeding, herb & food preserving.... in flow with the day, season & moment. Accomodation for 2 in 'The Cottage', a private, self-contained 'tiny house' in our garden, with a Double bed, hot outdoor shower, composting toilet & camp kitchen. Some shared meals, mixed diet. 3-7 day stays. Keith is Canadian (we met while he was backpacking in Oz in '89), Nicole is of Italian heritage. We have 3 grown children & a beautiful baby grand daughter who live around the corner & visit often.  We are short walking distance (10mins) to Mollymook beach, Harbour & shops & a few minutes drive to Milton. We are very easy going & potter in the garden a few hours a day,  leaving you plenty of time to explore the beautiful south coast. Theres also the option of time learning kitchen practices like fermenting, canning & pickling, growing mushrooms, weaving & sharing wisdom.
