Mawson (postcode 2607) is a suburb in the
Canberra, Australia district of Woden Valley.

Mawson was gazetted in 1966 and named after the
Antarctic explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. The theme
for street names is Antarctic exploration.

Mawson is next to the suburbs of Phillip, O'Malley,
Isaacs, Farrer, Torrens and Pearce. It is bounded by
Yamba Drive, Beasley Street and Athlon Drive. The
neighbourhood of Swinger Hill on the other side of
Ainsworth Street is often associated with Mawson
but is in fact part of the suburb of Phillip.
