12 Wheelwright Crescent is a house set on a sizeable block of land.
The house sits on an 830 m² parcel, offering generous outdoor space for gardening or recreation.
Beau and Jessi Park is about 0.5 km away, and the local Banks Oval – used for community events – is within roughly 0.6 km of the home.
A small shopping centre on Pockett Avenue, just a short walk from the property, includes a SUPAEXPRESS supermarket, two take‑away food shops and a pet grooming service.
To the east of the suburb lies the Rob Roy Nature Reserve, part of Canberra Nature Park, and the smaller Big Monks mountain, which features a gliding stage for paragliders and hang‑gliders.
The surface geology in Banks is alluvium, while the hills around the suburb consist of Deakin Volcanics that erupted during the Silurian age about 414 million years ago.
Banks is Canberra’s most southerly suburb, bordered by Box Hill Avenue, Tom Roberts Avenue and Tharwa Drive, and it sits adjacent to the suburbs of Conder and Gordon.
The suburb was named after Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who accompanied Captain James Cook on his 1770 voyage to Botany Bay.
