5 Eady Street, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia
5 Eady Street is a detached house situated on a 722 m² block of land. The generous lot size provides ample outdoor space for gardening or recreation.
The Dickson Wetlands are just 0.1 km away, meaning they are a short walk from the residence. They offer a natural setting for bird‑watching and leisurely walks.
The Dickson District Playing Fields are only 0.2 km from the home, providing sports ovals for soccer, cricket and rugby. Nearby parks such as Calvert Park and Bill Pye Park are also within about 0.7 km, offering additional open‑space options.
The Dickson Centre, a major commercial precinct with Woolworths, Coles, shops and services, is approximately 1.1 km away. It also houses an ambulance station and other community facilities.
Dickson has two light‑rail stops, Macarthur Avenue and the Dickson Interchange, both located on Northbourne Avenue. The Dickson Interchange also provides six bus routes (18, 30, 31, 50, 51, 53 and R9) for easy connectivity.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, often referred to as the 'Limestone Plains'. In flatter areas, Quaternary alluvium overlies the shale.
Dickson was the site of Canberra’s original aerodrome from 1924‑1926 and later a World War II experiment station focused on crops and livestock. The suburb was officially gazetted in 1928 and its streets are not themed by name.
