The Embassy of Ethiopia is just about 0.4 km away, while the embassies of Ivory Coast and Venezuela are roughly 1.4–1.5 km from the residence, making diplomatic services easily accessible.
Residents are close to several green spaces, including Navigators Park (≈0.8 km), Voyager Park (≈1.0 km), Janzs Park (≈1.2 km) and Rocky Knob Park (≈1.4 km). The iconic Red Hill ridge, part of Canberra Nature Park, is also a short walk away for bushwalking and wildlife spotting.
Red Hill was named for its red‑soil ridge and gazetted as a suburb in 1928. Its streets follow a 1918 outline plan by Walter Burley Griffin and the area retains a 1920s garden‑city character, recognized by the ACT Heritage Council.
The ridge is an erosion residual formed from metamorphosed Yarralumla Formation sediments, with a buried granite intrusion known as Federal Golf Course Tonalite dating to about 417 million years ago. The surface soils are the distinctive red terra rossa.
The primary southern entry to Red Hill is via Hindmarsh Drive, connecting to Mugga Way or Dalrymple Street. Within the suburb, La Perouse Street (the property's street), Flinders Way and Monaro Crescent serve as the major thoroughfares.
