Another option could be something more relative when it comes to the domain name if the intended name has been taken.
A company called Blue Blooms may have the business name registered in Queensland (and have taken domain name) you are in SA. You can register and operate under the Blue Blooms business name in SA and register something like AdelaideFlorist.com.au or FlowersForSale.com.au.

Sometimes I think business' could recieve alot more type-in business if they ditched their actual trading name when it comes to choosing a domain.

It doesn't have to match ... and sometimes (depending on the business name) it's more beneficial to the business if it doesn't.

FredsFishingRodsAndSportingGear.com.au or SportsGear.com.au?
