Pre-Drilling Support
Kingaroy Water Divining
Drilling a bore is a major investment—especially in rural areas like Kingaroy where water availability varies widely. That’s why Cheyenne Drilling offers water divining services to help local property owners locate groundwater before drilling begins. With more than 16 years of regional experience, we know how to read the land and identify promising drill sites based on natural indicators. Water divining uses dowsing rods to detect underground water movement and is particularly useful across the South Burnett’s patchy terrain, where rainfall and aquifers don’t always align.
Whether your land is open farmland or undulating scrub, we provide on-site assessments to reduce the risk of dry holes and multiple drill attempts. Our goal is to give you peace of mind and improve the odds of a productive bore. This affordable, low-impact service is ideal for farmers, acreage owners and rural families throughout Kingaroy and surrounds.

Adapted for Kingaroy Conditions
Kingaroy sits in an area where soils can shift from sandy to heavy clay within a few kilometres. That unpredictability makes water divining a valuable first step. Instead of relying on guesswork, we use time-tested methods to locate groundwater flow beneath your specific block.
Whether you’re working a farm or building on a lifestyle property, divining helps narrow your options and avoid costly re-drilling. We walk the site with you, explain what we find, and offer clear direction on next steps. It’s a smarter way to plan your bore in the Kingaroy region.
What is water divining, and how does it work?
Water divining is a technique used to locate underground water sources using divining rods. It involves identifying natural water pathways without the need for extensive drilling or excavation.
Is water divining suitable for farms around Kingaroy?
Yes, especially for farms spread across mixed terrain. Around Kingaroy, it's common for one part of a property to retain water better than another, due to soil and sub-layer changes. Water divining helps identify those pockets of subsurface movement without the need for machinery or expensive tests. It's particularly helpful if you plan to install a stock bore or irrigation line and want to ensure the bore goes in the right place the first time.
What kind of tools are used for divining?
Traditional water divining tools include L-shaped rods, pendulums or forked sticks—tools that respond to subtle energy or movement underground. These tools work in conjunction with the operator’s experience and awareness of terrain. In Kingaroy, where local knowledge makes a big difference, these methods can highlight shifts or activity in the water table. While it’s not high-tech, it’s simple, low-risk, and often surprisingly effective when handled by someone familiar with the area.
Will divining damage my property?
No, divining is completely non-invasive. We won’t dig or disturb your land in any way. Our process involves walking across the site with hand tools and observing how they react to underground energy or movement. There's no need for machinery, no cutting through fences or crops, and no environmental disruption. It’s a low-impact option that lets you make decisions about bore placement without any upfront construction or changes to your property.
