"Built on friendship, shared experience and a passion for water, wellness and connecting people to the environment."
Our Story - Ben & Tom
Ben and Tom bring together decades of knowledge and a common vision for a more sustainable future.
Having first worked together as colleagues and friends, Ben and Tom were founding members of the first Sustainability Team at Melbourne Zoo, where they shared a commitment to environmental responsibility, resource efficiency and creating a healthier future for people, animals and the planet.
Ben holds a Bachelor of Environmnetal Technology and brings 25 years of experience in the water industry, specialising in the management of filtration systems and water quality for both animal and human environments. He also spent three years working as an environmental consultant in the geothermal bathing industry, further developing his understanding of the connection between water, nature and wellbeing.
Tom holds a Bachelor of Environmental Science and brings extensive leadership experience, having managed large and diverse teams, including Melbourne Zoo's first Sustainability Team and a Landcare team in the Yarra Ranges. His experience spans sustainability, environmental stewardship, community engagement and bringing people together to make a positive difference.
Today, Ben and Tom combine their complementary skills, practical experience and shared passion for wellness and water. Their journey is built on a simple belief: that caring for our water and environment is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of all living things.
Two friends. Shared values. A passion for water, wellness and a more sustainable future.
Wineries and wellness...
We see a synergy with thermal bathing and wine. We would like to partner with a winery that shares our vision for wellness, accommodation and exceptional wine. Thermal bathing and wineries are a natural pairing; warm mineral water relaxes the body and clears the mind, while a local wine tasting adds flavour, story and a sense of occasion. Together, we can create a complete regional escape - soak, savour, stay and unwind - giving guests more reason to linger, return and share the experience. This kind of bathing, dining, accommodation and wine-tourism combination is a growing driver of regional wellness travel.
