13 Bradfield Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
13 Bradfield Street is a standalone house. It is listed simply as a residential house without additional specifications.
The property is close to the Downer local oval and the neighbourhood shopping centre, which now includes a café and a veterinary clinic. A bronze kangaroo sculpture, unveiled in 2019, is also situated nearby.
Swinden Street Metro station is about 1 km away, while the larger Dickson Interchange is roughly 1.4 km from the house. Both stations provide easy access to the public transport network.
Downer sits on calcareous shales belonging to the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium deposits. These rocks form part of the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s, later used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. Large pine and gum trees were planted as windbreaks, and many of those historic trees have been replaced in recent conservation efforts.
Federally, Downer is part of the Canberra electorate, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly it falls within the Kurrajong electorate.
Within 1–1.3 km you’ll find Dickson District Playing Fields, Dickson Wetland, Exhibition Park in Canberra, and the Canberra Racecourse. The area also hosts the National Folk Festival venue, about 1.3 km away.
