Dickson is an inner‑north Canberra suburb known for leafy streets, detached single‑dwelling houses and two‑storey duplexes. It offers a mix of residential, commercial and recreational facilities within walking distance.
The property is near the Dickson Interchange, which serves six bus routes (18, 30, 31, 50, 51, 53 and R9). Two light‑rail stops – Macarthur Avenue and the Dickson Interchange stop – are also within the suburb.
Within 1 km you’ll find the Dickson District Playing Fields (≈0.6 km) and Bill Pye Park (≈0.4 km). The Dickson Wetlands are also close, about 0.3 km away, offering walking tracks and natural scenery.
The ground is mainly composed of calcareous shales from the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, often referred to as the “Limestone Plains”. In flatter parts of Dickson, a layer of Quaternary alluvium overlies the shale.
Dickson was gazetted in 1928 and originally housed the Canberra Aerodrome (1924‑1926). Later it became the site of the Dickson Experiment Station, a research farm that operated from the 1940s until the early 1960s before suburban development began in the late 1950s.
The Dickson Centre, a major commercial precinct with supermarkets and shops, is about 1 km away. The Dickson Library is roughly 0.9 km from the house, providing easy access to library services.
