I like to spend some time with local people, it's the best way to travel ! I have already done a wwoofing in Canada and love it, so why not doing it again 🙂

I joined because I want to make the most out of my time over in AUZ - I am excited to explore opportunities in agriculture and farming in Australia. Eager to combine hard work with a memorable holiday experience.

I sometimes go back Japan while a holiday is going but I can't go back Japan all times. I would have nothing in a next holiday so I'm interested in it. It may develop my skill of working. I don't have a job which I want to do certainly. I think an experience of working helps me to decide it even if a experience is not relating to what I want to do. Further more, any experiences of working may be good for a job I would do.

It’s a dream of mine to explore Australia and I am thrilled to do so in this way. I'm still paying off college loans so I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to work in exchange for stay which also allows me to give back to the land and community I'll be visiting.

Firstly, I am interested in working in nature and I want to be familiar with a farm to live on especially organic food because I usually try to choose organic food to maintain my health. secondly, I would love to meet new people, experience real Australian life and culture, and learn a lot of things.  Lastly, I would like to improve my English skills as well.

I want to be a WWOOF Australia member in order to pursue my love of being in nature and my deep connection to animals, and to travel the world after my graduation from High School this summer. English is easy for me but I am not yet as fluent as I would like to be - so I am looking forward to go to Australia to improve my English, to gain deep insights into everyday life in this country where I have never been, and to making new acquaintances and friends. I hope that WWOOFing will provide exciting and educational experiences in nature and with animals and people.

I have enjoyed my WWOOFing experiences in the past, being able to stay in a community for awhile instead of hopping around from place to place. I've enjoyed the people I've met and the places I've gotten to know away from the main tourist destinations. I also find WWOOfing to be productive for my painting. In addition, I believe in communities like this that bring people together to have new experiences.

Hi my name is Annie,   Are you looking to learn some gardening and regeneration skills in the beautiful Byron shire? Then look no further... There is also paid work in the area but you will need a car from the property

The reason why I try to join in WOOF is that I would like to have an opportunity to stay with people in different backgrounds and work in a farm.   In Japan, Australia is known as an agricultural country and I often see a lot of imported products from Australia such as beef and flour. I believe that understanding Australian agriculture through practical experiences will greatly benefit my dream of working in international companies because these companies deal with exports and imports with foreign countries including Australia. Through the experience of WWOOF, I hope to gain great experiences in Australia while also improving my English skills.   My English level is intermediate and I can have a basic conversation.   I would be glad to work in your nice farm. Thank you!!

I’m interested in any other life especially foreign country. Also I wanna interact with any other people. I like nature. I hope stay peaceful with you.

There are 2 reasons why I joined. Firstly, I am really interested in agriculture and dairy farming. Since I do love eating, I was thinking that how nice starting my own farm then grow and consume it by myself is. So I have started farming and grow my own vegetables since 2 years ago. And, I felt that is super fun to do it from the ground up but also tough because I have poor knowledge. Therefore, I really would like to learn how to do farming. And also it is going to be greatful to have an opportunity learning about animals through helping dairy.   Secondary, I am interested about what real Aussie life is! Actually, I experienced helping dairy farming in New Zealand when I was a high school student and that was completely local life that I imagined. They were welcoming me so friendly as a member of family so I really loved to stay and work with locals. I couldn't felt in that way if it was just travel. So, I believe this is the most valuable experience to stay with and see what real local life is during my travel!

Kumbartcho is a 141 hectares farm just 3 kilometres out of Kilkivan, Queensland. We have a beef cattle breeding enterprise, along with chickens, pigs, sheep for our own use. We host Steiner school year 9 farm camps of 3 week duration. We also hold regenerative agriculture workshops on farm embracing biodynamics, syntropic Agroforestry, Natural sequence farming, & human health. Shane has now 50 years as a regenerative agriculture practitioner. We have an ongoing tree planting program partnering with the likes of the local Koala Action Group. We make biodynamic preparations on farm for our own use, & for sale. The farm is on Wide Bay Creek, which has great swimming holes. Just 1.5 hours from the Sunshine Coast beaches. We have working dogs. I have a youtube channel for sharing our on farm activities, & as well a web site...

What impressed us the most about WWOOF was the opportunity to live with and directly experience the lives of local people in the area. As you know, we came here to meet diverse people and have unique experiences. If we were to do WWOOFing, we would love to create unforgettable memories by immersing ourselves in the lives of the locals. Another reason we are interested in WWOOFing is because of our warm memories from the farm. Our grandparents used to run an apple farm and raise cows, chickens, and rabbits. During our childhood, we would often stay at our grandparents' house for a few months during summer vacation and experience life on the farm while helping out. We have accumulated many cherished memories on the farm, and that serene and warm countryside life holds a special place in our hearts. It would be wonderful to create such beautiful memories once again.

The reason I participated in Wwoof is because I was attracted to the Australian people, culture, and way of thinking when I visited Melbourne, Australia last year, and I wanted to learn more about them. Also, although I come from Japan, my parents run a farm and I helped out when I was little, so it's a field that I'm very familiar with and would like to learn more about.

I’m traveling around Australia at the moment I will leave Melbourne and travel to New Caledonia, Fiji and back to Australia for a bit. I couldn't live in the local place when I lived in Australia, so I want to take this opportunity to try.

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. We are regularly  booked 3 to 4 months in advance with mostly long-term guests.This should not deter you to ask anyway as booked helpers sometimes cancel their spot. 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, flower beds, lawns as well as a goat on paddocks and a cute house cat. 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 start your journey inward to grow and get to know yourself and your interaction with others. Deep discussions are possible in a relaxed atmosphere. Be creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, writing, music and getting 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 Finnish Sauna and helpers are encouraged to join. A great place to open up, listen to yourself and have meaningful discussions. 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.

Hope to explore new possibilities while learning in company of people who are on a similar journey. We both love supporting a sense of greater community and commitment to future generations, doing what needs to be done in restoring our wonderful earth mother for a permanent future. Looking for opportunities to help out on nearby farms while we travel in our camper through coastal and outback Australia.

After I stopped working as a teacher, I spent 1 year travelling around my country and being a volunteer in some natural/ permaculture farms. I got myself healed and connected to the people and things in those environments. Then I got a chance to have a working holiday visa and I set out for a farther journey here. I have been in Australia for nearly 1 year. For this 1 year I have worked as a picker/ packer at farms in NSW and QLD in order to make enough money for my journey. It was such an experience and I have learnt a lot about life lessons by living and working with so many other backpackers. I really appreciate that. However, business farms and massive food production are never a suitable environment for me. I always seek for a natural and self sufficient lifestyle and want to learn more about how to build it on my own. That's why I registered for being a wwoofer. I don't mind hard work and will do my best to help out at your farm. It would be good if the place is well organised, quiet and harmonious because those are the values I cherish as well. Thank you for considering and having me as your wwoofer.    

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.
