Send Flowers to Wollongong, Australia

Squeezed between a steep green escarpment and the Tasman Sea, Wollongong is a long, narrow city south of Sydney. Locals call it "the Gong". The northern villages of Thirroul, Austinmer and Bulli hug the beaches, the centre clusters around Crown Street and the harbour lighthouses, and Port Kembla's steelworks mark the industrial south.

A large student population attends the University of Wollongong, including many from overseas, so graduation bouquets are common here. Generations of migrants from Italy, Macedonia, Greece and Portugal came to work in the steel industry, and their families still mark name days, Easter and Mother's Day with flowers. If you plan to send flowers to Wollongong, give the suburb carefully, since the city runs a long way from north to south, and add a ward name for Wollongong Hospital. Delivery in this part of Australia is next-day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight local time, with no Sunday service.
