Same Day Delivery - Condon Wide
Condon has that new suburb energy. Young families building something, backyards with trampolines, streets where the trees haven't quite grown up yet but give it a few years. It's part of Townsville's growth corridor, the kind of area where people move because they want space for kids and a house they can actually afford. If you're sending flowers to someone in Condon, we deliver there through our network of partner florists based right in Townsville. Same day delivery if you order before 2PM, flowers starting from $42.95.
Here's what we're not. We're not a warehouse operation boxing up flowers in Sydney and shipping them overnight hoping they survive. We're not a production line churning out identical arrangements. We're not a multinational with a marketing team and a boardroom and lawyers. We're Siobhan and Andrew, we started this business in 2006 with a baby on the way and no idea what we were doing, and we still run it from the same dinner table where we make most of our decisions.
Two years ago we were in Townsville for Ivy's State Age Netball Championships. Beyond the chaos of the morning traffic and the evenings watching Castle Hill light up from the harbour, we got a sense of how the city spreads. The older inner suburbs with their Queenslanders and established trees, then the growth corridors pushing outward where young families are putting down roots.
Condon felt like that. New starts. People building something. Houses that still smell like fresh paint and lawns that are still finding their feet.
It reminded me of our own leap, honestly. That decision to leave Sydney and chase something different. The energy in a suburb like Condon, young couples with kids, first homes, futures being built, our partner florists see it in the orders they deliver. Baby arrivals. Housewarmings. First birthdays in houses that feel like they're finally home.
Back in 2006, Andrew and I were working nine to five jobs in Sydney. Events and marketing, nothing special. We were living in an apartment in Drummoyne, expecting our first baby, and it was the dead of winter. I was stricken with morning sickness, grey skies outside, packed trains, the whole Sydney grind.
One evening we looked at each other and said there has to be more than this.
We'd saved some money from working since university. We had this vague idea about gifts, organic products, baby things. But the burning question was where. We sat down and made a list of over 30 towns, then narrowed it to five. The only criteria were warmth, because Sydney winters were killing us, and regional, because we desperately wanted out of the rat race.
Byron Bay, Ballina, Kingscliff, Bangalow, somewhere on the Gold Coast. We booked flights and spent a week driving around. Byron was awesome but way out of our budget. Bangalow felt isolated. The Gold Coast was too hectic. Ballina seemed like the one, right up until we drove across the old rickety timber bridge into Kingscliff.
It was one of those perfect days. About 1PM, high tide, Cudgen Creek looking like something from Fiji. We stayed at Mantra at Salt that night, had breakfast at Choux Box the next morning, walked past a florist with a small For Sale sign in the window, and everything changed.
New starts. That's what we were chasing. Condon families would understand.
Growth suburbs have their own rhythm of occasions. New baby flowers are a constant in areas like Condon. Young couples becoming parents, grandparents meeting grandchildren for the first time, friends celebrating arrivals. Our florists handle maternity deliveries regularly, they know the timing, the presentation, the way those flowers need to feel.
Flower bunches suit Condon's unpretentious character. Not everything needs to be a statement piece. Sometimes a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers on the kitchen bench is exactly right. Casual, bright, everyday beauty. Our bunches are properly put together by real florists, not grabbed off a supermarket shelf.
And yellow flowers match the energy of a suburb still finding its feet. Bright, cheerful, optimistic. Sunflowers, yellow roses, chrysanthemums, whatever's fresh and in season. There's something about yellow that suits new beginnings, and Condon has plenty of those happening.
When you order flowers to Condon, your order routes to one of our Townsville partner florists based on postcode and stock. They make your flowers fresh that day, put them together with care, and deliver locally. They know the newer estates. The street layouts that don't quite follow the old grid patterns. The houses that all look similar until you learn the landmarks.
No flowers sitting overnight in a freight depot hoping they survive the humidity. No anonymous warehouse workers boxing up arrangements they'll never see delivered. Fresh, local, made that morning by Townsville florists who take pride in their work.
With over 800 partner florists nationally and multiple covering greater Townsville, the system has backup built in. If one shop runs low on yellow roses, the order routes to another partner who has them. Condon always gets covered.

The business started with our own new start. Leaving Sydney, taking a chance on a florist shop in a town we'd never heard of until we drove across that bridge. Eighteen years later it's 800 partner florists across Australia, two daughters who've grown up in the business, and a model that still works exactly how we designed it. When you order to Condon, that's who's behind it.
