The small township and bustling port of
Waratah (now Walkerville) operated from 1875 to 1926 to supply lime to the
Melbourne building industry.
Limestone mined from the cliffs was burnt with firewood in brick lined-kilns (resembling up-turned bottles) to produce quick lime. The lime was then bagged and hauled in tram carts along a 350 metre jetty which once stretched out into the bay to waiting ships.
