Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and was used for opium poppy production during World War II. The area’s large pine and gum trees were planted as windbreaks, and many have since been replaced with newer local gum varieties.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects Canberra’s original name, “Limestone Plains.”
