About This Cache:
The Lime Kiln These lime kilns were in operation by the mid-late 1860s. Lime was extracted from a hill in the area and fired in the kilns. By the turn of the century kiln use had declined as it was more economic to extract lime from Milburn, south of Dunedin, which had the advantage of being near a railway line. In 1976 New Zealand Cement Holdings gifted the lower kiln, together with the adjacent limestone quarry to the Otago Peninsula Trust. Restoration work began and was supported by the NZ Historic Places Trust. The lime kiln is protected and maintained by the Otago Peninsula Trust and is open to the public to view.
Parking is available on the road near the sign - please don't block the driveways.
This can be a high-muggle area (school trips), so please replace cache hide as found. Thanks.
If you've got some vinegar with you, don't forget the Sandymount Lime Kilns Earthcache GC1YTVA as well.
You are encouraged to include pictures with your log (just no spoilers).
