We are now able to accept people for 2nd and 3rd year visas under the volunteer work scheme for Bushfire or Flood recovery efforts. Yes we can sign off on these visas in conjunction with volunteer work. https://wwoof.com.au/2nd-3rd-year-working-holiday-visas-update/
Our main residence is located in the centre of Orange NSW. We have a permaculture garden located at home and we also have a large scale Permaculture Educational Centre.
Holistically managed being built on 97 acres at Cargo. There is quite a lot of mixed work available at Cargo starting with the building of vegetable gardens, service areas for composting, buildings, food forest and pathways.
Accommodation consists of a caravan with all facilities available at the property. If volunteering at the home then you will stay in a room located at the home or the Camper van.
Old fashioned home cooked meals for the evening meals with everyone joining in. Length of stay negotiable.
Keen to hear from people who would like to stay long term and work with us to develop a village setting at our Permaculture site at Cargo. Plus those of you who also can help us with garden maintenance and animal care in town at our home.
I’ve always been a peoples person and after 18 years nursing and a large family with 8 children it flowed on to WWOOFing. WWOOF was something we learned about when our children were very young and first used the organization at the home.
It followed on from then to over 12 years of meeting and sharing life with more than 550 volunteers. We now have friends all over the world and lots of amazing stories and spaces to share.
It’s a very fulfilling role being a host, meeting people and sharing our knowledge. The social side allows us also to learn about you and games and hobbies you play/do back home. Hosting also helps us to learn more about the world, your country and cultures.
The best part for us with hosting is making new friends!
