Downer, gazetted in 1960, was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site and even grew opium poppies during World War II; many of the large pine and gum trees around the area date from that era.
The ground consists of calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone heritage that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
