Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s, even growing opium poppies during World II. Many of the large pine and gum trees around the former CSIRO site were planted then, with recent efforts to replace aging gums with newer varieties.
The area sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, the limestone that gave Canberra its original name ‘Limestone Plains’.
