HISTORY

All early lime kilns on the Mornington Peninsula were built against a cliff in order to enable them to be filled from the top. Inconvenience of this cartage distance was compensated by other advantages. The burning nodules gave off sulphurous fumes, for the disposal of which the headland siting of the kilns was ideal
