Winter 2019 Renovations at Emu Ridge

23 October 2019

Renovations, Emu Ridge Eucalyptus oil Kangaroo Island

We have been busy here at Emu Ridge over the low season with renovations in and around the shop.

Tristan and Larry with the help of a few people have transformed the look of Emu Ridge just in time for the peak tourism season on KI. Below is a gallery of images with all the improvements including the new brush fence around the bus parking area, which now frames the outdoor picnic area and makes it safer for families. The front deck being oiled, new plant boxes near car park, freshly painted MacGillivray Post Office the new entrance sign and automatic sliding doors.

We would like to thank Alice from Big Quince Print for the new sign at the front of the shop, it looks wonderful!

Thanks to Phil, Leanne and Daniel from Expression In Colour for re-painting the Post Office back to its original colour, just like it was over 100 years ago.

Also thanks to Spanners and Gavin Bates for laying down the marl in the bus parking area and on the paths around the still.

RESTORED MACGILLIVRAY POST OFFICE

See the short video below of Expression In Colour (Phil, Leanne and Daniel) painting the Post Office. They have recently come back to live on Kangaroo Island but many many years ago they painted our toilets and it’s great to have them back here again.
