Edward John Eyre

On 25 February 1841 Eyre, John Baxter, three Aborigines, eleven horses and six sheep set out from the Head of the Bight to explore an overland route to Western Australia.

Only Eyre, one Aborigine, Wylie, and four horses reached King George Sound, more than four months later.

This is Eyre’s account of that epic journey. The publication contains illustrations and two maps.
