Emu Ridge is perfectly situated for island exploring, just 15 minutes from Kingscote, American River, and Parndana.
Eucalyptus oil was Australia’s first true export overseas and one of Kangaroo Islands major industries. Emu Ridge is now the only remaining commercial eucalyptus oil distillery in South Australia and is proud to have preserved a major part of Kangaroo Island’s heritage and history, producing eucalyptus oil that is unique to the world.
The award-winning Emu Ridge site has an excellent retail outlet that offers an extensive range of local produce, art, craft and historical memorabilia. Emu Ridge manufactures and retails Eucalyptus oil and a large range of associated natural products.
They also offer guided and self-guided tours that take visitors through the distillery.
