Downer is an inner‑north suburb of Canberra, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. It was gazetted in 1960 and named after Sir John Downer, a former Premier of South Australia and early Australian senator.
Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.9 km away, while the EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station is roughly 1.3 km distant. The Dickson Interchange is also within about 1.4 km.
Phillip Avenue is just 0.5 km away, and Exhibition Park in Canberra (a large showground) is about 0.8 km away. The Canberra Racecourse, Dickson Centre, and Quality Hotel Dickson are all within 1‑1.5 km.
The Downer shopping centre, recently refurbished, now includes a café and a veterinary clinic, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled there in May 2019.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, the limestone that gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains.”
