Daly Bros. Pty. Ltd.

Daly Bros is a locally owned Australian business. We’re experts in quality hydrogeological artesian and sub-artesian water bore drilling and consultancy services.

Ken and Gary Daly started drilling water bores with a cable tool drill rig in the Quilpie area of South West Queensland in the early 1960s. Daly Bros was established in 1966. From these humble beginnings, the brothers unassumedly built a highly professional drilling business that grew into an industry leader. New owner Todd Symons brings the ability to respond to the needs of a broad range of clients and contractual requirements, and continues to operate Daly Bros as an industry leader. You are assured of the same high quality Daly Bros service you have come to expect.

LOCALLY OWNED - In 2016, Todd Symons purchased Daly Bros. Todd brings over 30 years of drilling experience gained across owner-operator and multinational drilling companies throughout Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica. 

OUR CLIENTS - Our clients encompass a broad range of agribusiness, mineral resource, engineering and environmental consultancy companies along with Local and State governments throughout Eastern Australia.

OUR GEAR - Daly Bros has a top quality fleet of well maintained drilling rigs and a broad range of support equipment. We’re always committed to providing the safest and most suitable equipment, and to the most effective and cost-efficient drilling methods to suit your project’s needs. 

DONE WITH CARE - Working with our ‘DONE RIGHT’ approach and supported by robust systems, we provide water bore services that meet or exceed industry best practice. We’re committed to the wellbeing of our employees and contractors. This is one of our primary measures of business success.
