The Australian explorer Edward Eyre is famous for being the first European to make an overland crossing from east to west. Although Eyre did not actually start from the eastern coast, his main journey started from the region of Adelaide, starting with an unsuccessful foray into the north, and then regrouped to continue west. He and his Aboriginal companion Wylie were the first to cross the Nullarbor Plain on foot, during 1840-1841.
