Lime Burning

Replica of an old lime kiln near Rye beach.
Lime burning used to be a a big industry on the Mornington Peninsula for most of the 19th century.
Rye to Tootgarook on Port Phillip Bay used to be one of the largest lime burning centres in Victoria.
The last commercial burning of lime on the peninsula was at Rye.
