Emu Ridge Eucalyptus - Farmers and Distillers of 100% Pure Australian Kangaroo Island Eucalyptus Oil

Our business features a craft gallery retail space that showcases not only our own art, craft, and products but also serves as an outlet for over 20 other local producers. We offer a vast selection of locally made souvenirs, as well as a variety of other Australian-made oils and natural products.
Emu Ridge is proud to employ many Kangaroo Island locals. Check out this 4 minute video clip to learn more about our family business and our eucalyptus oil production.
The Eucalyptus Oil Industry on Kangaroo Island
People visit Emu Ridge to experience the heart and soul of the Australian spirit; some come back every few years to see what's new.
At the heart of our business is a story of family and growth. We started from scratch, with our children, Mel, Tristan, and Tiff - learning and evolving alongside us. Although they initially ventured into their own paths, they have all come back to contribute to our thriving family business, and we couldn't be prouder.
Mel, our eldest daughter, manages our café and runs her own business, Balance Beauty & Massage by Mel.. When you visit the island, be sure to check out Mel's website and book a luxurious pamper session.
Tristan, our skilled builder, applies his expertise to our various projects, ensuring everything is crafted with precision and care. He produces our Eucalyptus oil amongst his many talents and enjoys time of for crayfish season!
Tiffany who owns and runs Kangaroo Island Academy also oversees our retail farm gate shop. She is dedicated to nurturing our community and enriching the local experience.
Together, we form a dynamic team, united in our passion for Emu Ridge Eucalyptus and our shared family legacy.
Many of our customers are international, and we proudly provide additional services to meet their needs, including information sheets in 13 different languages.
Guided tours of the distillery are available during school holidays, and group tours can be booked year-round. Self-guided tours are also available all year, ideal for families and international visitors or those with limited time who still want to experience the distillery.
All visitors receive a short DVD, available in six languages, offering more insight into our business. Our retail shop features a charming display of history and memorabilia.
Our business also houses the Cellar Door for Kangaroo Island Ciders, with tastings and sales available. Our cafe, which has a full bar license, offers delicious breakfast, lunch, tea, and coffee.
For your comfort, we provide public and disabled toilets, front and back decks, a dining room, and a general picnic area.

Hi we have been on emu Ridge in March and I bought 100 ml emu oil we live in Denmark how much wil it cost me to get it send.
Hi Petra,
The postage price for the emu oil to Denmark is below for 2 different sizes as they both have the same postage cost.
100ml Emu oil – $27.27 + $32.99 postage
250ml Emu oil – $50.00 + $32.99 postage
You can also add a few more things to that order as you have up to 500g for that postage cost. Let us know if there is anything else you wish to order, and we can work out the best postage cost for you.
Kind regards, Ella

If I cleared it with NZ customs about how much would it cost to post 1 litre (or bigger) eucalyptus oil? I have a friend who would also like to be included in the order.
Hi Lesley I know it can be sent with Qantas re the dangerous goods rules, but i believe the minimum cost is $400 freight! so you would have to get a large volume of orders to make it viable. Im sorry we cant post it through Australia Post, if you know of another way we are more than happy to send. It is very frustrating. Kind regards Bev
Hi . I have been using your pure emu oil for at least 10 years +. Great product. There is a but . The last bottle of emu oil I purchased last month may June, is different. It’s like vegetable oil., and when it gets really cold it’s not setting like it used to . It used to go white like a thick buttery consistency. This bottle is looking like vegetable oil ,it also doesn’t smell like emu oil,my other emu oil from you usually had a granular feeling. Have you changed your production techniques. I had a little left from my last bottle, two completely different consistencies, looks smells, not the same .
Hi Christine, thanks for your continued support over the years, Emu Oil really is an amazing product. That is very strange, we have changed nothing, can i ask you to put it in the fridge overnight to see if it goes solid, the granular feeling you get is when it is changing consistency from temperature. It certainly is 100% pure. Please see this info and I look forward to your reply once refrigerated.
Emu Oil is naturally a creamy semi-solid consistency and only begins to liquefy above 24 degrees C. When your Emu Oil becomes very thick simply warm it under hot water. It will return to its natural consistency again when it cools. As ambient temperature varies, the consistency of Emu Oil will vary from thick at cold temperatures to completely liquid at high temperatures. If left undisturbed at room temperature for a number of weeks, Emu Oil can naturally divide into 2 fractions, one liquid and the other more solid, creamier form. The longer it is left, the more separation occurs. Together, these two fractions contain the entire benefits of Emu Oil. Separated, they do not contain all the beneficial components of the oil.
Some companies offered only the top liquid component, touting it as the “best” of the Emu Oil; however, we now know much more about the oil and research has concurred that both fractions should be present to be most beneficial for softening skin and reducing pain and irritations. When your oil separates, simply shake it together. https://www.emuridge.com.au/emu-oil-australian/

Hi Bev, I got the oil out of the fridge this morning and it had set.The above information is interesting. Thanks for your help.
Hi Bev, I picked up some eucalyptus oil when I was on KI a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to get the little booklet that gives me more detailed uses for the oil. Any chance of mailing one to me (or is it perhaps available online somewhere?). I live in Adelaide. Thanks.
Hi, my book is $5.00 plus $2.20 postage if you would like one Im happy to post Kind regards Bev

Is there any chance that you have free shipping after a minimum amount Purchase. I am located in the US and purchased your products while visiting Kangaroo Island. I have had several friends try the product and would like to order some. Thanks!
Hi Alice,
Our products are already discounted as much as possible and the postage goes by weight via the Australian Post app. Therefore, we don’t have free shipping sorry. Hope to hear from you again. Have a great New Year! Kind regards, Ella.

We bought a litre of Emu Oil while we were on KI.
Can you mail another litre to Canada? Postcode V8S3G6
How much would it cost. I still have an AUD account.
Hi yes we certainly can. I will send you a private message with the postage costs. Kind regards Bev
We have almost run out of your eucalyptus oil. Do you have stockists in Adelaide? I am reluctant to pay exorbitant postage prices. I’d like at least 1 litre – would consider buying more
Hi Pam, thanks for your enquiry. We only sell our products direct so that our customers do get better prices. I will send you an email re prices and postage. Kind regards Bev
