One of the explorers who influenced Eyre was Charles Sturt, who first charted the Murray River to its mouth at the Great Southern Ocean. It was with great regret that, to lighten his load, Eyre had to throw out a much prized copy of Sturt's book of his explorations, entitled Expeditions.

Edward Eyre did not name Lake Eyre, as he would have had to name it after himself, and explorers did not seek to name things after themselves. However, the lake was later named in his honour.

Wylie was the faithful aboriginal companion of Australian explorer Edward Eyre. He stuck by Eyre when the other two Aborigines deserted Eyre, murdering Eyre's overseer, Baxter, in the process.
