The surroundings of Lower Stranger Pond attract native species such as black swans, pelicans and kangaroos, offering residents frequent wildlife sightings during walks.
The suburb sits on Deakin Volcanics, consisting mainly of green‑grey, purple and cream rhyolite, which forms the base of the local landscape.
