The "official" method is to unscrew the barrel and pour water into it. As the opening is so small, it sometimes gets a bubble that blocks it; a slight squeeze should move that and continue to fill.
Another method that might work better is to squeeze the empty tube and submerge the opening in a glass of water, then release. You can see this in this video at about 4:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk9X-7wq2s0

Thanks ladies for all your suggestions . I had to do some housework some time so yesterday I got to it and I discovered an eye dropper , That did the trick . I have never heard of a pipette , it may be a bit quicker to fill the bottle than the eye dropper. I live 200km North of Perth in a small country town so will have to wait till a trip down to call into jacksons . In the mean time I will use my eye dropper. Thankyou once again>
