The property lies in Downer, an inner‑north suburb of Canberra bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue.
The nearest Canberra Metro station is on Swinden Street, about 0.3 km away, and the Dickson Interchange Metro station is roughly 0.7 km distant.
Within 0.6 km you’ll find the Dickson Library and the Dickson Centre precinct, while the refurbished Downer shopping centre hosts a café and vet clinic; the National Hockey Centre is about 0.8 km away.
A bronze kangaroo sculpture unveiled in 2019 stands in the Downer shopping centre area, and a local oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets is also nearby.
Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, part of the limestone plains that originally gave Canberra its name.
The suburb began as a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s, later used for opium poppy production during World War II; many of the large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks.
