Like some of the other early Australian explorers, Eyre faced exhaustion, starvation and thirst. on his attempt to cross Australia from south to north, he was blocked by a series of salt lakes. These forced him back to Fiwler's Bay, where he made the decision to cross from east to west. The Anangu people (Aborigines) saved his party on this journey by showing him how to find water, and even digging the well for him when it became apparent that his men were incapable of doing it properly.
The journey west was particularly arduous, and Eyre was forced to offload every last bit of non-vital equipment - even his prized copy of Sturt's explorations which Sturt had given him. Eyre's major problem, however, was the murder of his overseer John Baxter, by two of the Aborigines who accompanied him. He was forced to continue on with just one faithful companion, Wylie, a Western Australian Aborigine.
