2 Bonython Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
2 Bonython Street is a detached house situated on a 728 m² land parcel in the suburb of Downer.
The property sits on 728 square metres of land, providing ample outdoor space for gardening or recreation.
Within about 0.5 km you’ll find the Dickson Library and the Dickson Centre precinct, while the Quality Hotel Dickson is roughly 0.6 km away.
The Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.7 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro hub, is roughly 0.8 km from the house.
Downer sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation that are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, the limestone‑based substrate that gave Canberra its original name ‘Limestone Plains’.
The community centre and surrounding shops were originally built for the CSIRO in the 1930s and later served as an opium poppy plantation during World War II, with many large pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks at that time.
Downer is part of the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party, and belongs to the ACT Legislative Assembly’s Kurrajong electorate, which elects members from Labor, Green, Liberal and Independent parties.
