Braddon is one of Canberra’s oldest suburbs, gazetted in 1928, and it originally housed the city’s first light‑industrial area. In recent years the area has been transformed into a vibrant entertainment and residential precinct, making it the ACT’s most densely populated suburb.
Braddon’s streets are lined with mature exotic trees such as cedar, oak, ash and pine, with Torrens Street notable for its oak (Quercus palustris) canopy. Haig Park nearby features a mixed planting of cedar, eucalypt, pine, cypress and oak, though visitors should be aware that poisonous mushrooms can grow near the oak trees.
