East Geelong

East Geelong is a residential suburb adjacent to Geelong’s central business area. It includes Eastern Park (about one-third of its area) on Limeburners Point, Corio Bay.

Limeburners Point was a source of building lime from as early as 1838 and, along with lime deposits on the Mornington Peninsula, were the major source for the Melbourne building trades for several decades. Production ceased in the 1880s, and there are heritage-listed kilns.
