Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility, even serving as an opium poppy plantation during World War II. Large pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks in the 1930s still characterize parts of the area.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
