Walkerville, Victoria

Walkerville is a village on Waratah Bay in southwest Gippsland, Victoria, approximately 190 km southeast of Melbourne.

[5] However, transportation difficulties, such as bad weather preventing ships from docking and lime spoiling in moist air, caused the industry to decline.

[7] Walkerville was a lively settlement during its peak, hosting horse races, sports, and annual balls in the old hall, which served as the center of community life.

[6] Today, remnants of Walkerville’s history remain, including lime kiln ruins, jetty pilings, and stonework from former buildings.

[10] Walkerville by Weddings Parties Anything, from their 1996 album River'esque is written from the perspective of a resident of the town at the closure of limestone mining.
