21 Wambool Street is a detached house situated on a 464 m² section of land. It exemplifies the single‑storey homes typical of Narrabundah.
Narrabundah is a medium‑density garden suburb in Canberra’s inner south, noted for its mature street trees, open spaces, and strong sense of community. The area features colourful spring blossoms and vibrant autumn foliage along streets such as Finniss Crescent and Stuart Street.
Rocky Knoll (also known as Rocky Knob) park in Upper Narrabundah offers panoramic views of Canberra and is a short walk away. The Narrabundah Ballpark, home of the Canberra Cavalry baseball team, is located about 1.1 km from the property.
The property is near the Narrabundah shops, which include a bakery, grocer, pharmacy, and Canberra’s first op‑shop Vinnies. The Harmonie German Club, featuring a section of the Berlin Wall, is also approximately 1.1 km away.
A bus shelter on Stuart Street is about 1 km away, providing local bus services. Canberra Railway Station is roughly 1.2 km from the house, offering additional travel options.
Narrabundah sits on Silurian‑age rocks, including the locally named Narrabundah Ashstone Member and grey‑coloured tuff from the Mount Painter Volcanics. The Deakin Fault runs through the suburb, intersecting with the South Fyshwick Fault near the local park on Brockman Street.
Gazetted in 1928, Narrabundah was the last of Canberra’s “inner south” suburbs to develop, beginning in 1947 after World War II. It originated as a blue‑collar neighbourhood for construction and printing workers, and its name is believed to be a Ngunnawal word meaning “little hawk.”
