Canberra Metro’s Swinden Street station is about 0.3 km away, and the Dickson Interchange is roughly 0.7 km from the home.
Within a kilometre you’ll find the Dickson Library, the revitalised Dickson Centre with a café and veterinary clinic, a local oval, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture unveiled in 2019.
Swinden Street originally served as the driveway for a 1930s CSIRO research facility; the area was used for opium poppy production during World War II, and many large gum trees were planted then, some of which have been replaced in recent years.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone foundations that gave Canberra its early name ‘Limestone Plains’.
