The natural spring they pinched the mineral water from was established in 1880. There were some stories from around 1904 onwards that reckoned spring water with some lemon flavour-ing was being made, but to be sure we took the date from when the blokes at Menzies & Co started bottling the stuff – so established in 1907 is the official date on the bottle. It then got pretty popular right around the country and became a bit of a national treasure soon after.
