We've been delivering flowers to Mysterton since 2008, working with real florist shops in Townsville who know the suburbs inside out. Started Lily's Florist in Kingscliff back in 2007, moved it online in 2009, and Townsville became one of our foundation delivery areas early on. Our partner florists make your flowers fresh that morning, local couriers who understand Townsville traffic deliver same day if you order before 2pm. No warehouse operations, no posted flowers. Just proper flowers from people who know that Ross River Road at 7:30am is a nightmare and plan accordingly. Order online now or call 1300 360-469.

Two years ago we were up in Townsville for Ivy's State Age Netball Championships, and again in April next year for 15's State Age netball. She plays for HDNA, they'd made it to state level. We flew up the night before, hired a car, thought we had plenty of time to get to her 8am game at Townsville City Netball Association.
Completely underestimated peak hour. Ross River Road was packed, Woolcock Street was chaos. By the time we arrived, sweating and apologetic, first quarter was nearly over. Ivy gave us that look. They won the state title but she's never let us forget that morning.
That whole experience reminded me why local knowledge matters. You need people on the ground who understand that Townsville starts early, that Thuringowa Drive at 7:30am is basically a car park, that getting flowers to Townsville Hospital early matters, that Cowboys home games mean you need to plan around stadium traffic.
Back in 2008, still figuring out if this whole partnership idea would work, I had a list of florist numbers around Australia. Townsville & surrounding suburbs like Mysterton kept coming up as a delivery request from our Kingscliff customers, probably Defence Force families given Lavarack Barracks.
Called Silver Wattle Florist in Townsville. My hands were shaking, Asha was crawling around our shop floor, I'd rehearsed what to say about twenty times. Peg answered and within thirty seconds my nerves disappeared. She just got it. No convincing needed.
Over the years Peg became more than a business partner, proper friend. She'd tell me about Townsville being the fastest growing regional city, how her daughter was a success in the banking industry, this was 17 years ago now, she was so proud of that. Bob would answer sometimes too, always with some joke about their weather being perfect while we were getting rained on.
They taught us what real partnerships look like. Not contracts and fees but actual trust. The kind where you know someone will stay back to make sure anniversary flowers are perfect. Mysterton was part of their delivery area then, still is with our current Townsville partners.

Partner florists around Townsville handle Mysterton deliveries. Close to the city, close to the hospital, close to Lavarack Barracks. Most of our Townsville florists can cover it easily.
Real florist shops, trained staff, local couriers who know the streets and how to avoid peak hour chaos. Made fresh, delivered same day if you order before 2pm Monday to Friday.
Mysterton's got a mix of old Queenslanders and newer places, some units, some houses. If it's a unit, make sure we've got the recipient's mobile number. Courier will call when they arrive.
Defence Force Families Lavarack Barracks is right there. Loads of Defence Force families in Mysterton because it's close to base. Deployments happen, flowers get sent while someone's away. Welcome home flowers too when they get back, pretty common.
Townsville Hospital Hospital's just down the road. Someone gets sick, spends time there, heads home to Mysterton to recover. Flowers arriving when they're back in their own place works better than hospital flowers. Less clinical, more personal.
Housewarming People move to Mysterton constantly, work or Defence postings. Housewarming flowers make a new place feel like home, especially when you're far from family. We deliver to new Mysterton addresses all the time.
Birthdays Someone lives in Mysterton, family's down south or interstate, can't be there. Flowers get sent instead. Same day delivery means they arrive on the actual day, not three days later.

Anniversary Townsville's got nice spots for dinners, The Strand, Palmer Street, decent restaurants around. Flowers delivered to home in Mysterton earlier in the day sets things up nicely before you head out.
Sympathy Flowers Townsville's a tight community, especially suburbs like Mysterton. Someone passes away, flowers get sent to homes or funeral services. If it's a funeral we call the funeral directors, sort timing, make sure everything arrives when needed.
Website, find your flowers, enter the Mysterton address. System checks we can deliver (we can), keep going. Pick your date, write your card message, add extras if you want, pay. Few minutes total.
Mobile ordering works too. Stuck in traffic on Ross River Road, remember you forgot flowers, order from your phone. Done.
Questions about delivery or not sure what to send, call us. Real people answer. 1300 360-469, Monday to Saturday.
Mixed Bunches Most popular by far. Bit of everything, looks good, suits most occasions. Works well for Mysterton because they're versatile, not too formal for Defence family homes, not too casual for special occasions. Start around $60, go up to $120 depending on size. Reliable choice that suits the mix of old Queenslanders and newer places in the area.
Tropical Flowers Heliconias, gingers, anthuriums, birds of paradise. Townsville's tropical so these suit the climate and don't look out of place. Last well in the heat too which matters up there, especially if someone's not home much or the aircon's not always cranking. Popular choice for Mysterton deliveries because they just feel right for North Queensland.
Deal of the Day $73.95, florist's choice, they make something with whatever's freshest. Takes the guesswork out which suits time poor Defence families or people new to the area who don't know what works in Townsville heat. Our Townsville florists know what thrives up there, they won't send something that'll wilt by lunchtime.
Roses Classic choice that works anywhere. Red for romance, pink or yellow for celebrations. Dozen roses around $85, two dozen for bigger gestures. Popular for anniversaries and welcome home flowers for Defence partners. Bit more special than mixed bunches, shows effort.
Natives Waratahs, banksias, proteas. Last ages, handle Townsville heat brilliantly. Good choice if someone's working long hours at the base or the hospital, not home much to fuss over flowers. Natives can cop some neglect and still look decent a week later. Properly Australian too which suits the vibe.
Sympathy Arrangements Whites and creams mainly. Sheaths for funeral services. If you're sending to a funeral in Townsville, mention it when you order. We'll coordinate with funeral directors, make sure everything arrives properly and on time. Done enough of these over 17 years to know how important getting it right is.

We partnered with Feefo in 2013 for customer reviews, and almost 13 years later we have over 22,000 customer reviews. Only people who've actually ordered can leave reviews, completely independent.
In 2024/2025 we got a Feefo Trusted Service Award. You need at least 50 reviews over four stars in a year. We got 3,025 reviews, 2,406 of them four or five stars. About 60 times more than minimum required.
Read all our reviews on Feefo, good and bad. We stuff up sometimes. Most of the time we get it right though.
Get up to Townsville occasionally for netball, family stuff. Strange being back knowing we've been delivering flowers to suburbs like Mysterton for nearly 17 years. Started with that nervous phone call to Peg in 2008, now we've got multiple partner florists covering the whole city.
Peg and Bob have retired now but we still think about them. They took a chance on us when we were just two people with a tiny flower shop and a crazy idea. Without florists like them saying yes early on, we wouldn't be here.
Flowers to Mysterton sorted. Same day before 2pm, real florists who know Townsville, call if you need help. Browse online or call 1300 360-469.
