Our operation is centred around eucalyptus trees and eucalyptus oil production in country Victoria, in Australia. We have been harvesting and distilling eucalyptus oil in the Inglewood and Wedderburn district of north east Victoria, since 1852. The oil produced is derived from ‘Blue Mallee’ (Eucalyptus Polybractea) – a high quality medicinal oil, that is a sustainable and renewable resource.

In recent years, we have collaborated with Melbourne University to enhance the yield from our Blue Mallee eucalypts – a species native to the local area where we have harvested for generations. By selectively breeding a high-yielding eucalypt variety, we are enhancing productivity and seeking to dramatically increase Eucalyptus oil production in Australia. Benefits included greater productivity in eucalyptus oil harvesting and distilling and the opportunity to re-establish Australia as a major producer in the global market.  This was documented in the ABC Landline program.

Today, harvesting is done on a 2-year rotational cycle and to date we have planted over 5 million trees with plans for future expansion.
