We're back in South West Queensland this week, continuing work on one of our major ongoing projects.

With early starts comes the occasional reward, and these sunrise views have certainly delivered. 🌅

From the sun rising over the cotton fields to the moon setting as the day begins, along with foggy mornings, it's a reminder of just how fortunate we are to work in some of Queensland's most remarkable landscapes.

A big week ahead for the team, but we couldn't resist sharing a few snaps from the start of each day.

Today, our team took part in Risk Management Training as part of our ongoing commitment to professional development and industry best practice.

Training like this helps strengthen our internal processes, improve risk awareness, and support the high standard of service we aim to deliver across every project.

A big thank you to our team for their engagement throughout the session, and thanks again to Pete from Consulting Surveyors for facilitating the training and sharing his knowledge with the team. 👏

For project enquiries, our team is here to assist with surveying and town planning services across Queensland and beyond.

Merlo mornings again ☕🌅

Another week in South Western Queensland for the Arnolds team, with early starts, long days, and some incredible outback sunrises along the way.

While the work takes us into some remote parts of the state, a Merlo coffee has become Arnolds’ little slice of civilisation on the road.

Proud to continue supporting projects and communities across regional Queensland.

The Arnolds team is back in South West Queensland, returning to one of our major ongoing projects as works continue progressing across the region.

Trips like these are always rewarding — not only to see how the site has evolved, but to continue providing consistent surveying support throughout every stage of delivery.

This visit included several early starts, with the team out on site before sunrise to make the most of the cooler morning conditions. Between static GPS work, field operations, and the fleet lined up ready for another big day, it was a great reminder of the teamwork and coordination involved in delivering large-scale regional projects.

A special mention also goes to the Director’s wife, Nicole, who officially joined the Arnolds static GPS team for the morning — proving once again that surveying can quickly become a family affair 😂

And naturally, the crew made time for a cheeky Merlo coffee stop before heading out across site ☕️

We’re proud to continue supporting this exciting South West Queensland project and look forward to the next stage of works.

Celebrating 25 years with Dave Howe 👏

After an incredible 25 years with us, we recently celebrated Dave’s retirement - although “retirement” might not be the right word. After a short break, Dave decided he wasn’t quite ready to step away completely, and we’re pleased to still have him back with us one day a week.

Throughout his career, Dave has worked across a huge variety of projects - from canal construction at Hope Island to challenging boundary surveys through rural landscapes and industrial sites. His work has even taken him overseas, with some unforgettable (and at times unbelievable) stories along the way.

From getting stuck neck-deep in drilling mud in the Libyan desert, to close calls in Egypt, to moments of reflection surveying at sunset in Senegal - it’s safe to say Dave’s career has been anything but ordinary.

Dave has been a valued and respected member of our team for 25 years, known for his knowledge, reliability, and ability to think outside the square. His contribution to the business has been significant, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything he’s given over the years.

Thank you, Dave - and we’re glad retirement didn’t quite stick.
