Where did Edward John Eyre start exploring?

Eyre wanted to be the first to overland cattle from Sydney to the fledgling colony of South Australia. His first exploration was in 1837, when he departed from Limestone Plains (today's site of Canberra), with over a thousand sheep and cattle. He travelled first to Melbourne, then he planned to head directly west to Adelaide. Conditions were difficult, as it was a drought year, so he could not get through the mallee country of western Victoria. Eyre had to retrace his steps to the Murray River, and his first explorations were not successful.
