Summers Here!

Something that tends to happen to everyone is getting SUNBURNT! Even if you think you’ve been extra careful it can still happen. We have a fantastic product that’ll heal sunburn quickly and prevent that horrible peeling, it’s EMU OIL. This oil is not only for sunburn, it can be used for a whole range of things including arthritis, massage for aches, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, scarring, and lots more!

You will also find our natural sunscreen here

 

What’s been happening at Emu Ridge?

Welcome to the team Tristan!

We would like to introduce you to our son Tristan, after 12 years of building on KI and in Darwin, we are proud and excited to have him back working with us in our family business at Emu Ridge .

Animals

We have some very cute Aussie animals here at Emu Ridge. A recent addition is some baby Emu’s, that have more than tripled in size since we’ve had them. The pictures show them with beautiful stripes but over time they’ll disappear. They also love water and have been swimming in the dam on these hot days!
Bev has been an orphan carer for Australian wildlife for 26 years and she currently has 5 joey wallabies. Four of them are nearly old enough to be released back into the wild, and the latest Alina is still very small and gets 4 bottles a day. Follow our facebook or blog for updates

Volunteers

We have had many volunteers from all over the world helping us over the years. They do all sorts of things from serving customers, bottling oil, prepping food for lunches, making gift packs, Cider tastings, translating information sheets, maintenance and much much more! We thank everyone who has volunteered with us, its a chance to share cultures, skills and language and see they way of Aussie life. Its a big help, we really appreciate their time and love every one of them!

New Distillery

Larry has been hard at work during our off-season redesigning the still. He has also been doing some maintenance to his Mechanical Harvester, making new blades and cutters! Each one hand made by Larry! Not long now and we will begin to harvest the trees and make our next batch of Eucalyptus Oil! We are all excited to see how the new still goes and will keep you updated!

Our Newest Granddaughter

We would like to introduce you to our youngest daughter Tiffany her Husband Will, baby John and our newest granddaughter, gorgeous Miss Maggie. How time flies. It only seems like yesterday we just started Emu Ridge and our kids were babies! ❤

All Natural Insect Repellent

The only annoying thing about summer are the insects! Nothing worse than relaxing outside and getting bitten by mosquitoes and midges or annoyed by flies! But this recipe is fantastic to keep them away! We also sell an All Natural Insect Repellent that is already made up.

Emu & Kangaroo Pies!

Another addition to our menu is Emu & Kangaroo Pie’s! The Emu, bush tomato and saltbush Pies are made by Andrew Fielke and are accompanied by Bush Tomato Chutney, and KI Homemade Tomato Sauce & salad. Our local bakery are making our Kangaroo & Native Pepperberry Pies. They’re all delicious, so if you happen to visit us soon don’t forget to try one of these unique Aussie pies! They have been a real hit!
