Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects the historic name “Limestone Plains.”
Downer was originally an agricultural research facility for CSIRO, even growing opium poppies during World War II. Large pine and gum trees were planted as windbreaks, many of which have been replaced with healthier local varieties in recent years.
