1 Banks Street, Yarralumla ACT 2600, Australia
The address is a detached house set on a 748 m² block of land. It offers a sizable garden area typical of central Yarralumla residences.
Yarralumla borders the south‑west shore of Lake Burley Griffin, so the house is within a short walk, generally a kilometre or less, from the lake’s waterfront.
The former Yarralumla brickworks is just 0.4 km away, and the CSIRO Forestry Precinct, which includes the historic Australian Forestry School and Westridge House, sits about 0.5 km from the property.
Embassies and high commissions are clustered nearby: the Embassy of Paraguay (≈0.7 km), the Embassy of Portugal (≈0.8 km), and the High Commissions of Nigeria, Vanuatu and Tonga (each roughly 0.9 km away).
ACTION bus route 57 runs along nearby Novar Street and Schlich Street, providing connections between Woden Interchange and City Interchange. This route gives residents easy access to the Canberra CBD and surrounding suburbs.
Weston Park, a popular lakeside reserve with swimming areas, playgrounds and barbecue facilities, is a short walk from the house. Additional green spaces such as Lennox Gardens and Yarralumla Bay line the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin.
Banks Street is home to the former Commonwealth Forestry School and the Tudor‑style Westridge House, both key elements of the suburb’s early 20th‑century scientific and educational heritage. These sites illustrate Yarralumla’s role in Australia’s forestry research and development.
