Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the original “Limestone Plains” that gave Canberra its early name.
The area was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility, used from 1939‑1945 to grow opium poppies for medication. Large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks, and many of those historic trees have since been replaced with local gum varieties.
