Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s, later used for opium poppy cultivation during World II, and features mature pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks that are now being replaced with local varieties.
The area sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
