Cape Woolamai + Dr Food Cafe - Phillip Island, VIC Australia

Cape Woolamai is a small town and headland at the south eastern tip of Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia. It is home to Cape Woolamai State Faunal Reserve, and the Phillip Island Airfield. Cape Woolamai contains a subdivision also called Cape Woolamai (formerly known as Woolamai Waters and Woolamai Waters West).

The above photo is the one I took. It was windy and cloudy that day. The photo below is taken from a tourism website of Australia promoting Cape Woolamai.

Somewhat similar, only sunnier. Anyway, this is the start of the trail. Below are some information about the trail:


Length: 8 kilometres
Walk: 3.5 hours return
Track: Good
Grade: Medium
Start: Cape Woolamai Surf Lifesaving Club carpark
Finish: Cape Woolamai Surf Lifesaving Club carpark


The sandy track winding along the sheer cliff tops on Phillip Island's southerly point culminates in a superb panorama of the island. Watch out for the daring surfers on nearby Woolamai Surf Beach, and keep an eye open for the burrows of the short-tailed shearwaters (mutton birds), small migratory birds that fly to Alaska each April.

After checking out in Silverwater Resort, we went straight to Cape Woolamai

The original plan was to walk half the trail to see the cliffs. We decided not to push through walking because of the strong winds and long walk. Ok.. more because of the long walk. haha! Plus, we didn't have time as we checked out late already.

After taking jump shots and group shots at the beginning of the Cape Woolamai trail, we decided to grab a quick bite. 2nd breakfast for the day at Dr Food, located in 10 Vista Place Cape Woolamai VIC 3925, Australia. 4 minutes drive from Cape Woolomai Beach parking.
