Lime is an essential component of the building industry for it is used to make mortar and to make plaster. Without lime, building construction in Melbourne would have been severely curtailed. Yet, this is an industry rarely written about. Using newspapers as a key source, this article discusses the development of the lime industry from the time of first settlement in the Port Phillip district to the rise of Marvellous Melbourne in the 1880s, key figures in the industry, and their predilection to form cartels.
