Yes. Downer was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO in the 1930s and was used to grow opium poppy during World War II. Many of the large pine and gum trees in the area date from that era.
The site rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This reflects the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
Downer is in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne (Labor). At the ACT Legislative Assembly level, it falls within the electorate of Kurrajong.
