Phillip Avenue is only about 0.2 km away and is served by the Canberra Light Rail line linking Civic and Gungahlin. ACTION bus routes R9 and 50 run nearby, and Antill Street is serviced by route 53, offering several bus options.
Residents can walk 0.2 km to Phillip Avenue’s local shops, 0.4 km to Exhibition Park in Canberra, and 0.8 km to the Canberra Racecourse. The EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station is roughly 1 km away, and the National Folk Festival grounds lie about 0.7 km from the property.
The site sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, often overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This underlying limestone connects to Canberra’s original description as the “Limestone Plains.”
Watson is named after John Christian Watson, the third Prime Minister of Australia. The suburb’s name was officially gazetted on 7 April 1960, and its streets honour Australian judges and legal professionals.
Watson is bordered by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue, and Antill Street, providing direct routes to surrounding districts.
The former Canberra Hog Farm, which operated from 1929 to 1956, once covered much of north Watson, and the historic Starlight Drive‑In cinema was located on the Federal Highway about 1.3 km from the home. The drive‑in’s iconic sign remains a local landmark.
