What is the old name for Lake Eyre?
The original name for Lake Eyre was Lake Gregory. It was named by Babbage, the first European to recognise Lake Eyre as being a distinct lake from Lake Torrens, whereas it had been thought to be part of a huge horseshoe shaped lake. Lake Eyre was officially named after Edward John Eyre, the first European explorer to sight the Lake whilst trying to find a route to the north in 1840-41. He was the one who initially conceived the idea (incorrectly) that the salt lakes of central-northern South Australia made up one large horseshoe lake.
Were there any problems with discovering Lake Eyre?
There were no problems with actually discovering Lake Eyre, but its presence certainly caused problems for Edward Eyre, the first one to see the vast salt lake. The huge saltpan prevented Eyre from fulfilling his ambition of crossing Australia from south to north as he was unable to find any of the breaks between Lake Eyre and the other salt lakes. As a result, for several decades after Eyre's exploration, maps showed a huge horseshoe-shaped inland sea. This belief hindered exploration of Australia's inland.

What did Edward John Eyre search for in 1840?
in 1840, Eyre initially searched for a route to the northern coast from Adelaide. Eyre left Adelaide in June 1840 to explore north towards the centre of Australia. He did not get very far as he was blocked by salt lake after salt lake: each time he attempted to go around a salt lake, he found his way barred by yet another. This led to Eyre's theory that Adelaide was surrounded by a vast horseshoe-shaped salt lake. By sheer bad luck, Eyre was unable to locate any of the breaks between the numerous salt-lakes which encircled him. Following this unsuccessful attempt, Eyre returned to Streaky Bay, on the western coast of the Eyre Peninsula. At Fowler's Bay, he chose to go west to find an overland route from Adelaide to Albany, something which no-one had ever tried before. He finally reached Albany in June 1841 in an amazing journey of courage and endurance across the Nullarbor Plain.
