The Lower Stranger Pond area attracts native species such as black swans, pelicans and kangaroos, making it a popular spot for wildlife watching.

The suburb sits on Deakin Volcanics rhyolite, presenting green‑grey, purple and cream tones. This rhyolite forms the base of both Bonython and nearby Mount Stranger.
Bonython was gazetted on 17 October 1986 and named after Sir John Langdon Bonython, a prominent South Australian journalist and parliamentarian. The area transitioned from grazing land to residential development in the late 1980s, with the Lower Stranger Pond water‑quality control pond beginning construction in 1989.
