One of the problems in research Canberra is the tendency to ignor Queanbeyan the Birthplace of Canberra and to research as if Queanbeyan didn’t exist.
Even the Raiders started in Queanbeyan. When ever there is a success story about an event or anything else you can gaurantee that Canberra will take over and take the credit.
In 1855 John Gale - Father of Canberra stood on a hill in the Queanbeyan District and beheld a vision of an inland city. In October 1899 Gale wrote about his vision in his daughters newspaper, The Queanbeyan Observer, describing the Canberra we know today - 13 years before the 1912 American Griffin-Mahony winning design for Canberra the capital of Australia was announced.
