For over 12 years, Tony has been bringing fresh, pure spring water to the local farmers’ market – drawn just the night before from a basalt spring 26 metres underground near Byron.
This is not treated tap water or filtered roadside refills. It’s structured water, naturally filtered through ancient volcanic rock and still holding its negative charge. ‘Most people don’t realise that town water and RO (reverse osmosis) water are positively-charged,’ Tony explains. ‘But your body needs negatively-charged water to function at its best.’
Tony regularly tests the water to ensure purity and mineral content, with no added chemicals or filtration processes that strip it of its natural energy. ‘The more natural the water, the better it is for you,’ he says.
Available in 11-litre and 15-litre refillable bottles, Tony’s spring water has built a loyal following at the market. ‘People often tell me how much better they feel once they switch,’ he says. ‘If you’re having a rough day, drink a couple of litres of good water – it really can reset your system.’
Tony recommends drinking at least two litres of clean, structured water a day. ‘It’s one of the easiest and most powerful ways to support your mental and physical health,’ he says.
While rainwater may seem like a natural choice, it can carry bacteria from roofs and gutters. ‘Natural spring water is next level – clean, energised, and alive,’ Tony says.
‘If you’re going to do one thing to support your long-term health, start with your water. It’s a simple habit that can make a big difference.’
Tony Hinds, from Wild Oasis, has his spring water stall every Friday morning from 7am to 11am at the Mullumbimby Farmers Market – taste the difference that pure hydration can make.
