Presenting White Cliffs and the Limeburners' Kiln at Rye in Melbourne, Australia.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
From around 1840 till the early to mid 20th century, limestone was collected near ground level in the area of Rye and its surrounds. Local kilns were established and used to fire the limestone, so that it would break down into lime. The lime would be bagged and then transported by sea-vessel to the growing centre of Melbourne to be used in mortar for the building industry. The local vegetation that was used in the kilns was exhausted and deliveries of wood then needed to arrive on returning vessels. The ti-trees we see today grew to replace the she oaks, banksias and swamp gums that once flourished in the area. The Limeburners' Kiln at Rye was a reconstruction project undertaken and funded in 1989 by the Lions and Rotary Service Clubs of Rye with some additional financial assistance from the Bicentennial Authority and the Shire of Flinders.
