Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Oil Distillery on Kangaroo Island
Emu Ridge eucalyptus distillery offers visitors a unique insight into one of Australia's earliest industries.
Visitors can discover how eucalyptus oil is made, from early island history through to modern production. Eucalyptus oil was Australia's first true export and once a major industry on Kangaroo Island. Emu Ridge preserves an important part of the island's heritage while producing eucalyptus oil that is unique to the world.
Located just 15 minutes from Kingscote, American River and Parndana, Emu Ridge is an easy stop while exploring the island.
Guided and self-guided tours take visitors through the distillery, sharing the distillation process and the many traditional and modern uses of eucalyptus oil.
The site includes a well-established retail store offering locally made eucalyptus oil and natural products, along with a great range of Kangaroo Island produce, art, craft and historical memorabilia.
The onsite café serves breakfast and lunch & coffee. Indoor dining, two large outdoor areas and a picnic space provide relaxed settings for visitors and events. A fully licensed bar is also available.
Visitors can enjoy a tasting cellar door experience featuring Emu Ridge's own eucalyptus vodka and gin, as well as the award-winning Kangaroo Island ciders.

Perched above the sea in Flinders Chase National Park, the impressive Remarkable Rocks form what appear to be a cluster of precariously balanced granite boulders.
This stunning work of nature has been shaped by the erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years. The golden orange lichen covering some of the rocks offers visitors wonderful photo opportunities at different times of the day. Interpretation signs share the story of how these intriguing rocks were formed.
There is a viewing platform providing a vantage point for disabled access. The area also provides an excellent vantage point for viewing the photogenic Casuarina Islets.Admirals Arch
Admirals Arch is a natural rock arch created by amazing forces of nature. It's situated within Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island. You can access the boardwalk around the cliff face which leads to a viewing platform overlooking the arch. The arch is sculpted by weathering and erosion from the sea over thousands of years.
To reach the arch there is a purpose-built boardwalk, it’s steep with steps at the end that take you to see the arch itself. If you can’t make it down to the arch, the scenery along the way is still well worth a journey along the boardwalk.
Fur-seals often play among the rocks. These dark brown seals feed at sea but return to land to rest and breed. In summer, each of the large males establishes a territory with a number of females. You can often see Fur-seal pups playing near the rock pools beneath the arch.
There is an interpretive centre at the park with more information, maps and ideas for walking and viewing wildlife nearby.
You can also stay nearby in the heritage lighthouse cottages at Cape de Couedic. These have been beautifully restored with modern facilities. -
