Historical information

This photograph, taken by The Advocate in 1991, was published as part of the newspaper's ongoing column profiling local traders and businesses throughout the district.

The image features four staff members from Woodhill's Florist Artists, located at Shop 99, Deer Park Shopping Centre, Neale Road, Deer Park.

The business was established nine years earlier when Doreen Phillips and Norah Woodall formed a partnership. Over time, Woodhill's Florist Artists became one of the leading florists in the district, specialising in floral arrangements for all occasions, including weddings, funerals and other ceremonial events.

Significance

The Advocate’s feature on local traders was a modest yet well‑liked column that played a meaningful role in strengthening community identity.

Through these regular profiles, the newspaper promoted local businesses and helped shape Sunshine’s understanding of its developing commercial district.
