Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and served as a poppy plantation during World War II; many large pine and gum trees planted then still line the local streets.
The area sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the region’s original 'Limestone Plains' heritage.
