From small beginnings, the town of Bundanoon on the NSW Southern Highlands became the first town in Australia in 2009 to ban bottled water. The ‘Bundy On Tap‘ initiative has now seen all bottled still water banned from the town. In it’s place, cafes & shops are providing free water to their customers and the municipal water fountains in the town have been fitted with a filtration system. The town has made the purchase of both a budget and premium water bottle in the town easy. The budget bottle is a 650ml squeezable BPA Free LDPE bottle from BOA at $3.50 per bottle.

The premium bottle is a Camelbak Better Bottle. 750ml in size, made from Tritan Eastman BPA Free plastic with a straw & bite valve. In Bundanoon, you can only get the 750ml size, but the Camelbak Better Bottle is also available in a400ml kids size, 500ml & 1 litre in a variety of colours and designs.

Both bottles can be bought in the town of Bundanoon. BOA bottles are made in Australia and are found in most cycle shops with various logos & designs. Camelbak sports bottles can be purchased online or visit the Australian website for stockists.
