Cape woolamai
where do i start, i am writing this review as i feel the other reviews have been put on by people in desperation of getting an extra dollar for the house they are selling, the all seems a little "perfect place to live", in saying that the place is nice, the beaches are awesome and cape woolamai has world class waves. the suburb is a majority of holiday/holiday let houses which are used mainly on weekends, there is a typical set of questions asked by the locals around the island and it goes like this.... local shopkeeper- "do you live here mate" holiday house owner - "yeah" local shopkeeper - "what part time or permanent" holiday house owner - "nah mate, just part time"... yeap people are are a funny bunch who are desperate to say they live on phillip island.
the suburb has a airport right next door to it, check the maps, so if your thinking of buying a weekender be aware the planes and helicopters take off early, now that they have skydiving here as well on weekends. yeap we have lots of wildlife here, the Bass Coast Shire Council say that VIC Roads does not take animals into account when it designates a speed zone so they put roads through the middle of nature areas and then refuse to drop the speed limits to a suitable speed that may help save the lives of these animals, take a look around there are dead animals everywhere, and they call it a nature reserve, its a disgrace the way we treat the animals here...
the weather is great in summer, sea breezes in the arvo cool the place down, in winter its cold wet and windy, the grass is green and the soil is sandy. the water is bad tasting, and no natural gas on the island, so you need to buy bottled gas, if you have gas appliances.
the place is a extremely busy area for around 6 months of the year and in the middle of winter its a little quieter, our local speed camera man is now here two times a week because of the amount of complaints of ridiculous speeds being used in our streets. the other thing you will notice is the amount of rundown two and three bedroom fibro cement homes which are not good if you have a nice house next door to it, its bad for the eyes and bad for the neighbours, maybe one day they will all go, but i doubt it.
It is what it is, but its far from perfect and yes i live here
