Cape Woolamai Information

Cape Woolamai is the highest point of Phillip Island. The small town was given its name by George Bass while on a whale boat voyage in 1978. The name is an Aboriginal word which came from the Eora people of Port Jackson. Woolamai was the name of a snapper fish which the Eora people would catch.

The cape itself is a vision of natural beauty. Pink granite rises out of the water gently easing into the green mainland of Phillip Island. The area is also home to a large colony of Shear-tailed Shearwaters. Many native Australian fauna call Cape Woolamai home. Walking tracks will show you the area and visitors are encouraged to explore to experience the true Phillip Island.
