No. On the contrary, Eyre was assisted by Aborigines of the Anangu group, who helped his party find and collect water.
However, he took three Aborigines with him on his trek. One, Wylie, remained a faithful companion, but the other two murdered his overseer, John Baxter, and took off with most of his food supplies, guns and gunpowder.
Edward Eyre did not live with the Aborigines. He encountered them when he attempted to break through to the north, and he had three aboriginal guides, but he did not live with them for any length of time.
