Eyre was born in England, the third son of a vicar. He emigrated to Australia at the age of seventeen after deciding against his previous intention of joining the army. He gravitated to the country and soon took up land near Queanbeyan in New South Wales. He was only in his mid-twenties when he led the expedition to the north and the west, by which time he had transported stock overland from Queanbeyan to Melbourne, from the Liverpool Plains to Queanbeyan and from Sydney to Adelaide. It was the first time that sheep had been overlanded to Adelaide.

Eyre's truly remarkable crossing of The Great Australian Bight and the Nullarbor Plain is the feat for which he is best remembered. In the full heat of summer and the depths of an Australian winter (1840-41), Edward John Eyre explored the rugged and unforgiving coastline between Streaky Bay on South Australia's west coast, and King George's Sound - present day Albany - in Western Australia. In all a distance of over 1200 miles.
