Woolamai and District Racing Club

The Woolamai Racecourse is in a pretty country setting at the foot of the hills with views over the surrounding farmland. It is a nice easy drive from Melbourne and a wonderful area to stay for the weekend with the coastal resorts on Phillip Island and along the coast to Inverloch, all within a 30 minute drive. Racegoers enjoy an abundance of shade thanks to majestic old elm trees. Picnic tables are available if you are one of the early arrivals or you can bring a rug and sit on the lawn. Alternatively, you can book at table and umbrella on 'The Hill' or in the 'Birdcage' and enjoy premium views of the action. For those wanting to entertain guests in a private space, the Pavilions or Marquee areas are a popular option. Children are entertained with face painting and kids activities, plus it is a great place for them to run around and have some fun. There are also two bars and two kiosks, run by local sporting and community groups that sell a wide variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices.
