		Edward John Eyre (1815-1901) was an English explorer of Australia and an administrator in New Zealand and the West Indies.

		Eyre was particularly impressed with the ease with which Wilguldy's people could live off the land, gathering food sources such as snakes, lizards, goannas, bandicoots, wallabies and a variety of native fruits.
		Eyre was always astounded by Wylie's appetite and was moved to note that under normal circumstances he was quite capable of eating 9 pounds of meat per day.
		Eyre perceived the condition to be life threatening and the daily chores of life proved to be a toil, especially digging for water twice a day.

	Edward John Eyre - LoveToKnow 1911
		EYRE, EDWARD JOHN (1815-1901), British colonial governor, the son of a Yorkshire clergyman, was born on the 5th of August 1815.
		Already experienced as an Australian traveller, he undertook the most extensive and difficult journeys in the desert country north and west of Adelaide, and after encountering the greatest hardships, proved the possibility of land communication between South and West Australia.
		The government, nevertheless, saw nothing in Eyre's conduct to justify legal proceedings; indictments preferred by amateur prosecutors at home against him and military officers who had acted under his direction, resulted in failure, and he retired upon the pension of a colonial governor.
