I joined WWOOF because I see it as a wonderful opportunity to experience real Australian life, improve my English, and connect with people from different backgrounds. I hope to contribute a few hours a day helping my host, while also having some time to dedicate to my studies and to managing my company remotely. I am also excited about building new friendships, learning new skills, and living unique and meaningful experiences during this special time in my life.

I have Working Holiday Visa subclass 462, and I hope to explore the the culture, poeple and also agriculture in Australia. I hope to be able to help out the owners and learn in the process. Hope that I can make new friends in the process.

I guess I joined this mainly from the desire of jumping into the unknown. I love heartfelt interactions that I’ll remember for the rest of my life and I hope to experience some of that again, just to remind myself there are good people on this planet again 🙂

To make my 88 days regional work, meet new people, learn new skills, live a new experience and work in a new environnement. I also want to increase my english level and live with an australia person is the best way to do it.

Over the last few months, I have been researching different ways to get engaged in volunteer opportunities.  WWoof seems like an excellent and trustworthy way to find volunteer opportunities as well as a chance to meet new people and experience local life in a family orientated setting. As an outdoor enthusiast WWOOF offers the opportunity to work with my hands, experience the outdoors and positively contribute to the environment.

We joined WWOOF Australia mainly to get Alma’s 88 days in, but also to see something else then the busy streets of Sydney, learn new things, and make friends along the way!

Welcome to our farm! A 34-acre family farm nestled in the beautiful Adelaide Hills near Clarendon, South Australia. We’re a fun-loving, social family of 8 (yes, we have 6 wonderful kids!) who love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. On our property, we care for sheep, chickens, and tend to a growing orchard of fruit trees. We’re looking for enthusiastic helpers to join us with a range of tasks including: Animal care (sheep & chickens) Orchard maintenance Tree planting Tidying, fencing, and cleaning

We would like to join woofing because we think it's a great way to discover a country's culture and to really meet people by living with them for a time. It's also a good way to really practice our english. And we love the idea of the exchange, helping someone in his farm and having food an accommodation

We are nestled on 100 acres of stunning bushland on Wonnarua Country, in the midst of the Watagan forest of the Lower Hunter Valley, 1.5 hours from Sydney and Newcastle. There is a wide variety of wildlife including lyrebirds, wallabies, echidnas and wombats, blue and fairy wrens, kookaburras, satin bower birds, black and sulphur crested cockatoos. We are growing tomatoes, pumpkins, zucchinis, mustard greens, rocket, kale, broccoli, carrots, beans (all types), herbs (all types), citrus, and many other fruits and vegetables. We are in the process of developing a master plan for our property, having moved here in August 2018. We are increasing the number of fruit and nut trees, are continually expanding the vegetable gardens, and enjoy fresh eggs with our 6 chickens and 2 roosters. The property is situated on the crest of a hill, with a beautiful area for camping and meandering in the valley by a natural brook, and another area at the top for workshops and retreats. Keith has a background in Ag Science and biotech start-ups (after a first career as a university professor); Brynnie has been growing not-for-profit organisations in the sustainability, health, maintaining Indigenous culture and social justice space (after a first career in international corporate law) and has studied Zen Shiatsu. Keith has lived in Germany and Brynnie is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese (having lived in Brazil) and gets by in French. Our children are in their mid-20s, having studied art history, philosophy and entrepreneurship, and environmental science, ecology and Spanish. We also have older children (via Keith) and seven grandchildren. We moved to this property in 2018 after having lived in Sydney for more than 25 years. 'Kawalang' means abundance in Wonnarua language. There is more about the property on our website.

We own a 90 acre Certified Organic property, 2 kms from the Murray River and 5 kms from Waikerie. We grow a small vegetable/fruit garden. We breed goats, some chickens and a little dog, Gemma. Chores vary seasonally: picking, weeding, feeding animals, restoring cars & old tractors. Accomodation either in our home or self contained flat. Children b.a. Meals with family, plenty of good food. We take our WWOOFers on a nocturnal safari to see kangaroos, emus, foxes, rabbits, owls & quail. See scorpions, Red-back spiders & lizards, etc. Also kayaking on the river. Star gazing, ride the quad motorbike, drive the tractor, go fishing, swimming or play pool. No smoking inside. Daily bus service from Adelaide & interstate to Waikerie. Here is a story written by a wonderful French WWOOFer Lény Gourven who visited us in 2013, we still keep in touch! WWOOFers Shay and Dean visited and made a video series about their WWOOFing journey around Australia. Here is the episode on our farm 🙂

Akaringa is a 1500 acre wheat & sheep farm in the wheat belt of WA, 130ks from Perth. Our pets include cats, dogs, chooks, ducks, ferrets, 2 horses (broken for riding), milking cow & 3 alpacas to guard the sheep. Small orchard & veggie garden supply us with fresh food. Certified Organic with NASAA, so natural methods used on farm. Volunteering includes general maintenance to machines and buildings, sheep, gardening, tree planting, rocks, wood cutting & weeding. Accommodation for 5 in our home, tent or BYO. We are a family with young children and live by Christian principles. Shared meals, mixed diet. Families welcome and no smoking in doors. Prefer minimum of 3 nights with the option to extend.

There are three reasons why I started WWOOF. The first is because I wanted to improve various skills such as agriculture and cooking. The second reason is that I want to interact with many people around the world. The third is to train my English skills.

We are hoping to travel around Australia and felt that this would be a great way to meet people, get new experiences, help out, try new things and see a bit of the Country, whilst on a tight budget.

I joined WWOOF as I think it's a great opportunity to have a good knowledge about organic farming but also meeting people from the local areas. I see WWOOF as an immersive experience in the country. I chose WHOOF as I m very committed to protect the environment so farming without utilizing any hazardous chemicals is one of the key to help the planet and Beings to get better. I love nature and people so I m sure I will enjoy my time with you!

I already have an account on HelpX but we joined WWOOF to be able to complete our 88 days for the visa. Also, there are more opportunities and people/places we can discover by joining HelpX and WWOOF !

I'm really willing to get in touch with different ways of living and to learn tips of agriculture and sustainability for my future. I really like being in contact with nature and working with hands, body and soul, learning how to interact functionally in balance with Earth. I find Wwoof also a great way to increase the depth and shades of travelling, really entering and tasting the local life.

I have always wanted to Wwoof and finally have the time! I’m travelling in Australia for 2 months late April to late June and would like to volunteer not only to save my budget but because I am keen for a cultural exchange with a host and to help and learn. As I am on a tourist visa I believe I can volunteer on non commercial/small farms. I especially want to learn about gardening, permaculture and organic farming methods.
