The area rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium. This includes the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, "Limestone Plains."
To the north of Watson was the former Canberra Hog Farm (1929‑1956) and the Starlight Drive‑in cinema, which has been redeveloped into medium‑density housing while retaining its iconic sign.
Exhibition Park in Canberra lies roughly 1.7 km away, and Mount Majura is about 1.9 km from the residence, both within a short drive or bike ride.
