Downer was originally an agricultural research site for CSIRO, used from the 1930s to the 1940s, even growing opium poppy during World War II. The large pine and gum trees that line the area were planted as windbreaks for those facilities and many were later replaced with newer gum varieties.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based substrate reflects Canberra’s original name, “Limestone Plains.”
