I live on a 5 acre block backing on to McMinns Lagoon, a nature reserve & bird habitat. Maintenance is required in my veggie garden which could do with expansion. Work includes planting, weeding, general gardening & home maintenance. WWOOFers must be independent and able to work without continual supervision. Kennel work is appreciated as I have a few dogs - Border Terriers. Happy to have couples or singles. Children b.a. Meals to suit. BYO accom. NSI. Own vehicle recommended as minimal public transport in area. Normally I have folks stay for 4 days & then negotiate extension/s. Depends on how we all get along together! Emails or my phone are the best way to communicate, please don't message me as I may not be able to respond

G'day we are operate a working cattle property in the Mary Valley South East QLD, just under 2 hours from Brisbane. We  are on 1300 acres and we run 500 head of cattle . We operate a farmstay business for backpackers and locals to come share our way of living. We do horse rides, farm tours, kids farm animals have a recreational room including pool table, darts and mechanical bull, swimming in the rivers and have wildlife running throughout the property.

We hope to become farmers in the next few years and joined Wwoof to learn while living and experiencing this life directly. We think it’s important to do this as a family before adjusting our lives permanently. We are passionate about the health of our planet and our connection to land, and that it’s key to addressing many of the biggest issues we currently face as a civilisation. We wish to learn from the experience and knowledge from those making a life on the land and through hands-on experience....and have a great time while doing it!

I've joined WWOOF because I have recently graduated from uni and am now seeking new adventures, skill sets, and connections with amazing people and places.

I am taking a long slow trip up down and around the east coast and would like to experience both large and small scale agricultural systems. Engaging with socially responsible people and produces to enable - A desire to learn and further develop my abilities first hand from people and places. To contribute to something meaningful and more sustainable in the big picture. I love soil! I dislike the word dirt in reference to soil.

Acacia Grove Health Education Centre is a 5 acre, Permaculture designed farm. there are approx. 350 orchard trees and a large vegetable garden. It is situated 50km west of Townsville in north Queensland, 400m above sea level, on the Great Dividing Range. The mountain air is cooler than on the coast.

Our primary reason for joining WWOOF is to learn more about permaculture hands-on and to offer our energy and service to this cause. We hope to make connections with like-minded people and explore other parts of Australia.

I am Australian and love Australia more than any other part of the world, I want to travel around Australia so l can explore its Beauty, meet interesting people and pay my way while working and supporting our Farmers.

For our 12 month van trip it seems like a great way to learn some practical skills and see some different ways of doing things that maybe we could incorporate into our own little garden at home. We would love to start keeping bees and chooks in our yard to start 'closing the loop' in our backyard.

I'm turning my life towards a healthier path as I don't drink or smoke anymore and trying to be vegetarian. So learning about the farm lifestyle and and knowing what I could achieve learning from the hosts itself is exciting for me and a great place to start. I'd also like to have my own farm one day. That'll be ideal.

I have come to WWOOF in hopes to engage directly with positive ecology; an interest that is not limited to one form of practice. Through engagement with prominent and emerging farming practices, I hope to discover more techniques and strategies which may bring them together. I hope to find ways of balancing cash crop seasons with cover crops and rotational grazing. I hope to find ways of practising agroforestry with high biodiversity. I wish to learn about all aspects of farming; from the hunter-gather and permaculture skills from which we began, to the organic bio-dynamic agroforests to which we will go.

The farm is 100ha on the Orara River, 25 km south of Grafton, producing tea tree oil, timber and some garden fruit. Abundant wildlife, kangaroos at the house, swimming in the river. Work includes weeding, fencing, tree planting, machinery operation, building.& garden work. I am an eco-professional & sometimes work off farm so WWOOFers should be flexible but can also help with wildlife studies. Accom for 1-3 people in my home depending on space or camp. NSI. Can P/U from bus, train or airport.

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.

I joined WWOOF through Work & Travel Company and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

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.
