Narrabundah is a medium‑density garden suburb in Canberra’s inner south, celebrated for its parks, mature street trees and a strong sense of community. It is conveniently close to Civic, the airport, Lake Burley Griffin, and local centres such as Manuka and Kingston.
Nearby green spaces include Narrabundah Hall Park (about 0.2 km away) and Errol Kavanagh Memorial Oval (approximately 0.5 km). The Narrabundah Ballpark, home of the Canberra Cavalry baseball team, is also less than 1 km from the property.
Yes, the Harmonie German Club, featuring a section of the Berlin Wall, is roughly 0.8 km away, and the local Narrabundah shops, home to Canberra’s first Vinnies op‑shop, cafés and other services, are within easy reach.
The suburb’s streets are lined with mature deciduous and native trees, including Pin Oaks that display vibrant spring blossoms and spectacular autumn colours, giving the area a distinctive seasonal charm.
Developed after World War II, Narrabundah was Canberra’s first blue‑collar suburb, originally housing construction and printing workers. Its name, believed to be a Ngunnawal word meaning “little hawk,” reflects the area's Indigenous heritage.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, including the locally named Narrabundah Ashstone Member and grey‑coloured tuff from the Mount Painter Volcanics. These formations are part of a complex fault system that includes the Deakin and South Fyshwick faults.
