Zilmere Through a Basketball Parent's Eyes (Long Drives, Good Memories)

Zilmere sits in northern Brisbane, between Chermside and Carseldine. Mix of older established homes and newer developments, close to Aspley, Geebung, Boondall. Basketball facilities scattered throughout the area, which is how we ended up spending three solid days there in 2022.

Ivy, our youngest, made the Gold Coast Rollers basketball team. Big deal for her, huge commitment. The tournament was in Zilmere, 3 days. We live in Kingscliff, that's about 130-140 kilometres away, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours each way depending on traffic. We drove there and back every single day for three days. Long days, exhausting honestly, but completely worth it.

I loved Zilmere during that tournament. The area, the vibe, the people watching their kids play. Something about sports bringing communities together, you see places at their best during these weekends. Tournament days are absolutely exhausting but you remember them, the good exhaustion where you collapse on the couch afterwards and feel like you actually did something worthwhile.

Now we deliver flowers to Zilmere, different kind of connection to the area entirely.

Been Delivering to Zilmere Since Before We Actually Went There

In 2007, Andrew and I bought Kingscliff Florist, not far from the Queensland border. Queensland suburbs started calling early on, Brisbane was one of our first expansion areas outside NSW. We've been coordinating Zilmere deliveries since around 2009-2010, over a decade before Ivy's tournament.

Ironic really. Been sending flowers to Zilmere for years, then in 2022 we finally experienced the area firsthand through Ivy's basketball. Saw what we'd been delivering to all that time. Still just Andrew and me running this seventeen years later, kids now 14 and 18. Those tournament weekends taught us plenty about Queensland suburbs and how far you'll drive when your kid makes a rep team.
