Downer is an inner‑north suburb of Canberra, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. It lies just a short distance north of the city centre.
Within about 1 km you’ll find the Dickson District Playing Fields, Exhibition Park in Canberra, the Dickson Centre precinct, and a refurbished local shopping centre that now includes a café and veterinary clinic.
Swinden Street Metro station is roughly 1.2 km away, and the EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station is about 1.3 km from the house, providing convenient access to the city’s rail network.
Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone base gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains”.
The suburb originated as a CSIRO agricultural research facility, even cultivating opium poppy during World II. Many of the large pine and gum trees in the area were planted at that time as windbreaks.
