85 Banksia Drive, Symonston ACT 2609, Australia
It is a house offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, situated on a sizable 92,882 m² block of land.
Symonston is mainly an industrial and agricultural area that retains a traditional rural feel, with a mix of large institutional uses such as government agencies and defence facilities.
Within about 0.1 km you’ll find the former Sundown Drive‑In cinema and a caravan park; the Geoscience Australia headquarters is roughly 0.6 km away, and the Abode Narrabundah hotel is about 0.7 km distant.
The Narrabundah Ballpark and Harmonie German Club are each around 0.9 km away, while several parks such as Errol Kavanagh Memorial Oval and Narrabundah Hall Park lie within 1.3 km.
Yes, Mugga Lane Zoo, Canberra’s first permanent zoo, is situated approximately 1.8 km from the house.
The land is classified as a ‘Broadacre’ area, preserving its rural character, but recent spatial plans identify Symonston and the adjoining Majura Valley as an employment corridor centred on Canberra Airport and Fyshwick.
The suburb sits mostly on Silurian‑age Mount Painter Volcanics, specifically dark‑grey to green‑grey dacitic tuff, with nearby outcrops of Narrabundah Ashstone and other volcanic and shale units.
