What did Edward Eyre discover in Australia?
In 1840, Edward Eyre discovered Lake Eyre, which was one of several salt lakes which blocked Eyre's attempt to cross from south to north. Other salt lakes which seemed to Eyre to form an impassable horseshoe-shaped barrier included Lake Blanche, Lake Torrens and Lake Callabonna, also discovered by Eyre but believed to be part of an inland sea. Eyre incorrectly formed the opinion that they all formed one large salt lake. It was another couple of decades before further exploration showed that they were separate salt lakes, and not an inland sea. Edward Eyre is better known for being the first European to cross Australia from Adelaide to Albany, or east to west, rather than for any great discoveries.
