Send Flowers to Cairns, Australia

In Cairns the rainforest meets the reef. The city in Far North Queensland is the main base for trips to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree, and thousands of people work in tourism, diving and hospitality. Many are young Australians or working holidaymakers a long way from home, which makes a surprise bouquet especially welcome.

The tropical climate shapes what florists use. Heliconias, gingers, orchids and glossy foliage thrive in the heat, while delicate cool-climate flowers struggle during the wet season, which usually runs from about November to April. Heavy rain can occasionally slow traffic on the roads north to Trinity Beach and Palm Cove.

To send flowers to Cairns, give the suburb, for example Edge Hill, Whitfield, Earlville or Smithfield, or the hotel name and guest name for visitors staying near the Esplanade. Cairns Hospital also sits on the Esplanade. Delivery is next-day across Australia, Monday to Saturday, for orders made before midnight local time, and there is no Sunday delivery.
