8/3 Wattle Drive

8/3 Wattle Drive is a unit, meaning it is a self‑contained apartment within a larger building.

The unit is about 0.8 km from the Roxby Downs Arboretum and roughly 1.5 km from the central part of Roxby Downs, putting shopping and community facilities within easy walking distance.

Roxby Downs has a subtropical desert climate with very hot summers (average highs around 37 °C) and mild winters (average highs about 18.5 °C). Summer nights stay warm, while winter nights can drop to around 4 °C.

Water is extracted from the Great Artesian Basin, then desalinated by the operators of the Olympic Dam mine and delivered to the town via a pipeline system.

Roxby Downs is in the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Giles, and the state government region of the Far North. Locally it is administered by the Municipal Council of Roxby Downs.

The town has a highly transient population of around 4,000 people.

The Olympic Dam mine and processing plant lie about 16 km north of the centre of Roxby Downs.
