What effects were made from Edward John Eyre exploring Australia?

Edward Eyre had a significant effect in bridging the gap between east and west. Prior to his expedition, no one knew what lay between Adelaide and Perth. Eyre's journey paved the way for the building of a road, and later a railway, after his route was surveyed several decades later by John Forrest.
Unfortunately, Eyre also slowed development of a route between the south and the north. Due to his bad luck in striking several of the smaller salt lakes thay lay in central South Australia, he believed that a huge horseshoe-shaped salt lake lay between Adelaide and the northern coast, and his reports that it was impossible to get through influenced the direction of Australian exploration for the next two decades by preventing anyone from attempting to get through.
