Description: Queensland Cement and Lime Company was established in 1914. From 1916 it obtained limestone from the Darling Downs. In the 1930s it built a wharf on the Brisbane River at Seventeen Mile Rocks, bringing coral from Moreton Bay by barge. The company became Queensland Cement Limited in 1988. In 1995 it was unable to renew its dredging licences and the factory closed in 1998.
