It is situated in Downer, an inner‑north suburb of Canberra bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue.

Within 1 km you’ll find Dickson Library, the Dickson Centre, Dickson District Playing Fields, and the Phillip Avenue road corridor.
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site; between 1939 and 1945 it grew opium poppy for medication, and many of the large pine and gum trees in the neighbourhood date from that era.
The area sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
A bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in May 2019 near the local shopping centre, replacing an earlier missing piece.
