Dickson sits on calcareous shales from the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, a limestone‑rich rock that gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains”. In flatter sections, a layer of Quaternary alluvium overlays the shale.
Between 1924 and 1926 the southern part of present‑day Dickson was the site of Canberra’s original aerodrome, complete with a concrete landing ring and white‑washed corner markers. The area also witnessed the first air crash in Canberra in February 1926, marking an early chapter in the city’s aviation history.
