Eyre: The Forgotten Explorer
Author(s): Ivan Rudolph
Edward John Eyre was one of the bravest explorers to tackle the unforgiving Australian outback - and one of the youngest. Lake Eyre, the Eyre Peninsula, the Eyre Highway that traverses the Nullarbor between Adelaide and Perth, and many other landmarks are named after him - so why do Australians know so little about him today? Based on original documents, letters and previously unpublished material, this fascinating portrait of a forgotten hero of Australia reveals a young explorer who lived a dynamic and adventurous life in the early years of the colonies.
