Cities are not discovered. The locality where a city is built is what is discovered.

Canberra is a city that arose out of the need to build a suitable national capital for Australia. Wild found the countryside that later became Canberra - in fact, almost a century later.

Joseph Wild undertook several expeditions into the interior of New South Wales with pastoralist Charles Throsby, hoping to find more land suitable for agriculture and grazing of livestock. Wild and Throsby were the first Europeans to explore the area that later became the Australian Capital Territory, where Canberra was established.
