26 Banfield Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
It is a house set on a 694 m² block of land.
Downer is an inner‑north suburb of Canberra, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue.
The community centre and shops were originally built for the CSIRO in the 1930s, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in May 2019.
The site sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone that gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains”.
Within about 1 km are the Swinden Street Metro station and the EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station, providing rail access to the area.
Phillip Avenue is roughly 0.3 km away, while Exhibition Park in Canberra is about 0.7 km from the house.
Federally, it is in the electorate of Canberra represented by Alicia Payne (Labor); in the ACT Legislative Assembly it is part of the Kurrajong electorate.
