Geocache Description:


Here you will find the White Rocks Lime Burning Kiln

In June 1924 a Mr Shelton employed Charles T Beazley to open up the limestone deposit at the site known as White Rocks on the Queanbeyan River just south of Queanbeyan. Beazley constructed a track to the outcrop, commenced quarrying the limestone and built the double kiln that still stands at the spot. He remained in charge of the operations until at least March 1926. After several owners, the white rocks quarry and kiln closed down in the late 1920's.

The lime was hauled to the Federal Capital in his 30 hundredweight Chevrolet truck where it was used not only in construction, but as a fertiliser on Canberra's gardens and as a purifying agent in sewerage treatment.

Please note, there is no need to enter the fenced off area!
Please BYO pen.
