Emu Ridge – The last South Australian Eucalyptus Oil Distillery!

There were once over 100 Eucalyptus stills that operated on Kangaroo Island. The industry employed over 600 people in the 1930’s, which is amazing considering we only have around 4000 people living here now.  This photo was taken by Peter Bassett on Min-oil Road, which is incredible because there aren’t many of these relics still around.  We are the only Eucalyptus Oil Distillery left in South Australia, with only a handful remaining in the rest of Australia! 90% of the Eucalyptus Oil sold in Australia is imported from other countries such as China and Brazil!  If you would like to order some of our Eucalyptus Oil, as well as many other natural products, or you want more information about the industry, click here.
