Extract from the WWOOFÂ book for Australia:
Working in exchange for food and accommodation is the basis of all WWOOFing. Time spent working varies according to the degree of self-sufficiency expected, how busy the host is at the time of your visit and other factors – but it should average out at about a half day’s work for a full day’s keep. We suggest that 4 to 6 hours a day is fair exchange for a days full board and accommodation.
A french guy was sitting next to me in the hostel and while reading through his WWOOF book he found following article:

Hallo Claudio,
schon von Dir zu lesen. Ich wollte Dir eigentlich eine ganz normale e-Mail schicken, habe aber leider Deine E-Mail Adresse verbummelt. Schreib mir doch mal kurz zurück, dann bin ich wieder auf dem laufenden.
Das Hostel-Erlebnis erinnert mich sehr an meine Australien und Thailand Urlaube, einen Idioten gibt´s im Hause immer! Ich bin ganz schön neidisch, dass ich nicht dort sein kann, in meiner „Wunschheimat“. Wann wirst Du eigentlich in Australien eintreffen?
Diese Jahr verlasse ich auch wieder, wie immer im November, das dann doch recht graue Deutschland. Aber nicht Richtung Osten, sondern diesmal fliege ich mit meinem Liebsten mal nach Ami-Land. Ich bin sehr gespannt!!
Also bis bald, und melde Dich mal per Mail!
die kurze Kathrin aus Berlin
PS: Vielleicht wird dieses Jahr noch geheiratet! Jippi!
