Eyre's main motivation was his disappointment at being unable to get through to the north, being blocked by salt lakes. He was determined to do something which no-one else had done, and from the point where he was, the most likely opportunity presented itself in him being the first to cross from east to west. He was not interested in fame or firtune, but he was interested in finding new grazing lands, and opening up new routes.
