Amaroo is derived from the Nyoongar language and means “a beautiful place”. The suburb’s name reflects its pleasant setting within the Canberra region.
Yes, the ruin of Crinigan’s stone cottage and the nearby Crinigan Park are both roughly 0.7 km away, offering a glimpse into the area’s 19th‑century colonial history.
Amaroo sits on the Canberra Formation of late‑middle Silurian age, mainly composed of slaty shale and mudstone. A 125 m wide band of dacite and quartz‑andesite runs through the centre, with minor faults and a tuff patch in the south‑west corner.
Amaroo was the first suburb in the ACT to receive the 100 Mbps NBN service, with rollout completed in 2013. Residents therefore enjoy fast, reliable broadband connectivity.
