Overview

Downer sits in Canberra’s inner north, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. Its proximity to the Swinden Street Metro station (≈0.8 km) and the Dickson Interchange (≈1.1 km) gives residents easy access to the city’s rapid‑bus network, while the main arterial roads provide a quick drive into the CBD. The suburb’s leafy streets, many originally planted as wind‑breaks for a 1930s CSIRO research facility, create a calm, park‑like ambience that blends well with nearby Dickson Wetland and the Dickson District Playing Fields.
