Wooloweyah Flowers, Same Day Delivery from a Partner Florist on the Brisbane Market Run

You are sending flowers to a community of 419 people at the end of a road that floods, and almost one home in eight is a holiday house owned from somewhere else. We get it. The first thing most callers want to know is whether the address is real to us, whether anyone has ever sent anything to Lakes Boulevard, whether the florist on the other end actually knows where Wooloweyah is on the map. The answer is yes, and has been since 2009. Your order goes to a florist in or close to the area who knows when the road south is clear and when it is not, and who builds the bunch from a Brisbane market run that came in that morning. I am Siobhan, one of the co-founders, and the rest of this page is for anyone ordering to this lakeside pocket of the Lower Clarence.

Most people assume flowers ordered for the far north coast of NSW come from Sydney. They do not. The wholesale market that feeds the partner florist near Wooloweyah is Rocklea in Brisbane, around three hours of refrigerated road north. Flemington in Sydney is closer to eight hours south. For a stem in a Wooloweyah kitchen on a Thursday afternoon, that shorter run is the difference between five days of vase life and ten.
