After nine months of preparation, the Covey Longhorns are ready to hit the road for the 2026 Endeavour Rally! 🚗

DSQ is proud to be among the sponsors supporting the team, who have achieved an incredible milestone by raising more than $103,000 — a record fundraising amount for an individual Endeavour Rally team.
Their “Longhorn Hauler” has undergone an impressive transformation ahead of the journey, with extensive mechanical work and upgrades, new safety equipment and a custom vinyl wrap showcasing the Covey family’s beekeeping history. DSQ is very proud to be featured on the bonnet as a sponsor!
The team heads to Toowoomba on Friday, 4 September for vehicle scrutineering and pre-rally events before officially heading west on Saturday morning.
DSQ is delighted to support such a fantastic effort and wishes the Covey Longhorns a safe and successful journey. Congratulations to the entire team on an extraordinary fundraising achievement!

Channel 7 is also expected to catch up with the Longhorns in Toowoomba on Friday morning, so keep an eye on the Friday night news!

We recently teamed up with Ocebile on a flood modelling survey of a river in South East Queensland.

We flew the DJI M400 with the L3 LiDAR payload to capture the terrain above water, while Ocebile's Australian-built McBathy remote survey boat ran single-beam sonar below the surface. The LiDAR data also lets us classify and strip out vegetation in post-processing, so the riverbanks come through as a true ground surface rather than tree canopy and undergrowth.

Stitching the two datasets together gave us a single Digital Elevation Model that extends from the riverbanks down to the bed, with no gap at the waterline. The combined approach is more accurate and efficient than traditional ground-based methods, with denser coverage of both the banks and the bed than crews on foot could reasonably collect.

Flood modelling depends on what's under the water as much as what sits above it. Accurate hydraulic models need both, and pairing aerial LiDAR with remote bathymetry covers the full picture in a single mobilisation.

We'll be using the same approach on upcoming projects where the LiDAR and bathymetric datasets need to form one continuous surface.

We were proud to support the Chinchilla State School P&C Association’s 2026 P&C Ball and contribute to such a successful community event. Thanks to the incredible support from sponsors, volunteers, and attendees, the event raised more than $69,000 to support the school swimming program and provide valuable resources for students. We’re grateful to be part of initiatives that make a positive impact on local students and the wider community.
