Fraser Coast Water Divining
When you’re preparing to drill a new bore on the Fraser Coast, knowing where to start can make all the difference. Cheyenne Drilling provides water divining services that help identify optimal drill sites before any equipment touches the ground. With over 16 years of experience across Hervey Bay, Maryborough and surrounding rural areas, we understand the unique geological patterns that affect water availability. Water divining—also known as dowsing—is a simple but effective way to detect groundwater channels beneath the surface.
Our approach combines traditional divining tools with local site knowledge to give you a clear understanding of where water is most likely to be found. This method is particularly valuable in coastal and agricultural areas where water tables can vary significantly. Choosing the right location reduces your chances of dry holes, unnecessary redrilling and wasted expense. We service residential properties, rural blocks and farms, offering fast turnaround and honest advice.
If you’re planning to install a new bore on the Fraser Coast and want to improve your chances of success, book your site visit with Cheyenne Drilling today. Call 0447 280 143 for a free quote.

Supporting Smarter Drilling
Water divining gives property owners an edge when deciding where to drill. On the Fraser Coast, land conditions can change dramatically between neighbouring properties—what works on one site may fail on the next. Our team works directly with you onsite, assessing ground conditions and using divining rods to identify potential water-bearing areas.
This hands-on approach is practical and low-cost, making it ideal for landowners looking to maximise bore success without relying solely on guesswork or expensive geological surveys. The process helps support smarter investment, reduce disappointment and avoid multiple drill attempts. Our experience with Fraser Coast terrain allows us to provide advice specific to your property’s natural layout, vegetation, and surrounding bores.
How accurate is water divining on coastal properties?
Water divining can be surprisingly accurate on coastal properties, particularly when used alongside local knowledge and topographical cues. In places like the Fraser Coast, where the landscape includes sandy soil, clay pockets, and subsurface rock layers, water channels don’t always follow a predictable pattern. Divining tools help detect areas of underground water movement, especially when used by experienced operators. While not guaranteed, it significantly narrows the guesswork and often improves bore placement outcomes compared to random drilling.
Do I still need geological testing after divining?
For most domestic and small agricultural bore installations, water divining alone is usually sufficient to choose a drill site. Geological testing is often used for larger-scale projects or when drilling at significant depth. On typical Fraser Coast properties, many landowners find that divining provides enough insight to proceed. However, if you require deeper or high-volume bores, we may recommend further surveys to confirm aquifer depth, rock layers, or water yield potential before drilling.
Is water divining suitable for small acreage?
Yes, water divining is ideal for small rural blocks or hobby farms. In many cases, space is limited, and you don’t have the flexibility to drill multiple trial holes. On the Fraser Coast, many acreage owners use divining to choose a drilling site that won’t interfere with buildings, access roads or vegetation. It’s quick, affordable and gives you confidence before drilling. This is especially helpful for new owners or those unfamiliar with local groundwater patterns.
