Cape Woolamai is a town and headland at the south eastern tip of Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia.

[4] Bass, who had learnt some of the Sydney language from the Eora leader Bennelong,[5] thought the headland resembled the head of that fish.

[6][7] The area was purchased from the government in 1868 by John Cleeland, sea captain, publican and owner of the Melbourne Cup winner of 1875.

In 1910 his son, John Blake Cleeland, noticed the sand was shifting due to erosion, so he planted rows of Marram grass, still evident today.

The headland contains remnant vegetation and wildlife such as an important breeding colony of the short-tailed shearwater, also called the Australian muttonbird.
