Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site, used during World War II for opium poppy cultivation. The surrounding pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in the local shopping precinct in 2019.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the region’s historic description as the “Limestone Plains.”
