It is in the suburb of Downer, an inner‑north neighbourhood bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. Downer lies just north of the city centre.
Swinden Street Metro station is roughly 1 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro stop, is about 1.1 km from the house. Both provide easy access to Canberra’s light‑rail network.
Dickson District Playing Fields are approximately 0.4 km away, and Bill Pye Park is about 1.2 km distant. The local oval in Downer offers additional open‑space recreation.
The site sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. These formations are part of the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name, ‘Limestone Plains.’
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility, used from 1939‑1945 for opium‑poppy cultivation during wartime shortages. The area’s large pine and gum trees were planted then as wind‑breaks, and many have been replaced with newer local species.
