Overview
Bore drilling is a capital-heavy, demand-driven trade across rural and regional Australia. Whether you drill for stock and domestic water, irrigation or geotechnical investigation, your business depends on a serious drilling rig, support trucks and the experience to read ground that is never the same twice. In a specialised field spread across rural and regional Australia, the contractors who succeed combine expensive plant with the cash flow to chase work across long distances.
Demand surges with dry conditions and drought, when farmers and properties urgently need water, and can ease in wetter years. Every job carries the risk of difficult ground, casing problems or a dry hole, and you front fuel, casing, consumables and travel before the invoice is paid. The rig and trucks are major assets to fund and keep running, and downtime on a remote job is costly.

Common questions
Cockatoo helps you find finance, insurance, marketing and automation partners suited to a capital-heavy, regional drilling trade. It matches you to options that fit rig finance, drought-driven demand and remote-job cash flow, rather than lodging anything for you.
It is closely tied to rainfall and drought. Dry years drive urgent demand for stock, domestic and irrigation water, while wetter years ease it, so a working-capital buffer helps smooth the swings.
Expensive rigs to fund and maintain, geological uncertainty on every hole, and costs like casing, fuel and travel paid before invoicing. A difficult or dry bore can absorb the margin, so pricing and cash management matter.
