The Swinden Street Canberra Metro station is about 0.3 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro station, is roughly 0.9 km from the house.
Within 1 km you’ll find the Dickson Library, the National Hockey Centre, the Dickson Centre precinct, a cafe and veterinary clinic in the refurbished Downer shopping centre, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture unveiled in 2019.
Downer was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO in the 1930s and was used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. The area later developed into a residential suburb, with many of the original wind‑break trees now being replaced by local gum varieties.
The site sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone that gave Canberra its early name, "Limestone Plains".
