From 1839, Eyre made several exploration ventures into the countryside north of Adelaide. In May 1839, Eyre departed Adelaide to explore countryside to the north. It was on this journey that he discovered and named Mount Remarkable.

In June 1840, Eyre left Adelaide to explore north towards the centre of Australia. He encountered salt lake after salt lake: each time he attempted to go around a salt lake, he found his way barred by yet another.

He then turned his attentions towards the goal of being the first European explorer to cross overland from east to west. Departing from Fowler's Bay on what is now the Eyre Peninsula, he travelled across the Nullarbor Plain to King George's Sound, now called Albany, finally reaching Albany and civilization on 7 July 1841.
