Yes. When Edward Eyre travelled from Streaky Bay on the west coast of what is now the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, over the Nullarbor Plain to Albany, Western Australia, he was accompanied by his overseer John Baxter, two NSW aboriginal men, Joey and Yarrie, and a Western Australian Aborigine, Wylie.

While on the Nullarbor, Joey and Yarrie shot and killed Baxter and ran away with guns and food, leaving Eyre and Wylie to carry on alone.
