Edward John Eyre's truly remarkable crossing of The Great Australian Bight and the Nullarbor Plain is the feat for which he is best remembered.
In the full heat of summer and the depths of an Australian winter (1840-41), Edward John Eyre explored the rugged and unforgiving coastline between Streaky Bay on South Australia's west coast, and King George's Sound - present day Albany - in Western Australia. In all a distance of over 1200 miles.
In the spirit of reconciliation this episode is dedicated to the memory of Edward John Eyre and his companion Wylie.
This line always gets me too, "If there is any road not travelled then that is the one I must take." Edward John Eyre
