9 Simpson Street, Watson ACT 2602, Australia
The house sits on a 766 m² block of land. This provides a reasonably sized lot for a detached residence in Watson.
Watson is served by ACTION bus routes R9 and 50, with an additional route 53 on Antill Street. Phillip Avenue also offers access to the Canberra Light Rail line that runs between Civic and Gungahlin.
Within about 1 km you’ll find Justice Robert Hope Park, the historic Starlight Drive‑In site, Exhibition Park in Canberra, and St. Margaret's Uniting Church. The suburb is also close to Phillip Avenue, a major thoroughfare.
The area rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium. These rocks include the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
Watson is named after Australia’s third Prime Minister, John Christian Watson, and its streets honour Australian judges and legal professionals. The suburb also contains the former site of the Starlight Drive‑In cinema and the historic Canberra Hog Farm, both part of its local heritage.
The EPIC and Racecourse light‑rail station is about 1–2 km away, while the Sandford Street station lies roughly 2 km from the house.
