73 Davenport Street, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia
73 Davenport Street is a detached house. It is typical of the central part of Dickson, which is characterised by leafy streets and single‑dwelling homes.
The Dickson Centre is about 0.7 km away, a short walk or a few minutes’ drive. It provides supermarkets, a variety of shops and other services.
The property is roughly 1 km from the Dickson Interchange, which serves six bus routes (18, 30, 31, 50, 51, 53, R9) and the light rail. Light rail stops are also located at Macarthur Avenue and at the interchange itself.
Bill Pye Park (≈0.7 km) and the Dickson District Playing Fields (≈0.7 km) are within walking distance, offering open space and sports facilities. The Dickson Wetland (≈0.5 km) is also nearby for nature walks.
Dickson occupies the site of Canberra’s original aerodrome (1924‑1926) and later the Dickson Experiment Station, which operated from the 1940s to the early 1960s. The suburb was developed for housing from the late 1950s, resulting in the leafy, detached‑house streets seen today.
The area rests on calcareous shales of the Silurian Canberra Formation, historically known as the “Limestone Plains”. In the flatter parts of Dickson, these shales are overlain by Quaternary alluvium.
