calling all australians!

A little old lady, whos a regular customer, comes in my shop today wanting to send flowers to australia for a funeral on monday.She said the flowers had to be delivered to a flower shop in Atherton called Bud n Bloom cause they were taking the family flowers to the graveside. It cant go teleflorist cause I dont know if that florist is a member so I said Id try and phone australia direct for her. Pussy lover kindly found the phone number for me but now I need more help, I was wondering if any of you could tell me:
1. The order is for £37.00, anybody any idea how much that is in australian money
2. Am I right in thinking that Australia is 10 hours ahead of us?
3. What time do most florists open in Australia?
4. Is £37.00 a descent sized wreath?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. I felt really sorry for the little old dear so hopefully I can help her out

well..........thats shocked me, little old lady is going to have to dig a bit deeper if she want anything in australia. Just for a bouquet its £50! I dont understand why in the teleflorist book it says wreaths start at £37 but just went into petals site for australia...thanks rainbow..... and they start at around £80 there. Converted £37 = 79 australian dollars according to the currency converter anna posted.....thanks anna. You get sweet fa for 79 dollars in australia...mental note australias out for a cheap holiday. Maybe it would be cheaper to phone the florist direct
