The property sits on a 664 m² block. This provides ample space for a garden, outdoor entertaining, or future extensions.
Watson is serviced by ACTION bus routes R9 and 50, with Antill Street also served by route 53. In addition, Phillip Avenue provides access to the Canberra Light Rail line that runs between Civic and Gungahlin.
Within about 1 km you’ll find the Watson suburb centre, Majura Primary School (0.3 km), Rosary Primary School (0.8 km), the Exhibition Park in Canberra (0.8 km), and the former Starlight Drive‑In site (1.1 km). The EPIC and Racecourse Light Rail station is also close by at roughly 1.3 km.
Watson is named after John Christian Watson, the third Prime Minister of Australia, and the suburb name was gazetted on 7 April 1960. Its streets are named after Australian judges and other legal professionals.
The area sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, occasionally overlain by Quaternary alluvium. These rocks include the limestone that gave Canberra its original title, “Limestone Plains.”
Watson is bounded by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue, and Antill Street. These routes provide direct connections to surrounding districts, though traffic volumes have increased with development in nearby Gungahlin.
