Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects Canberra’s historic “Limestone Plains” nickname.
Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and was later used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. The suburb, gazetted in 1960, retains historic trees planted as wind‑breaks, some of which have been replaced with new gum varieties.
