Edward John Eyre (5 August 1815 – 30 November 1901) was an English land explorer of the Australian continent, colonial administrator, and a controversial Governor of Jamaica.
==Early life==
Eyre was born in Whipsnade, Bedfordshire, shortly before his family moved to Hornsea, Yorkshire, where he was christened. His parents were Rev. Anthony William Eyre and Sarah (née Mapleton).〔(Geoffrey Dutton, 'Eyre, Edward John (1815–1901)', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', National Centre of Biography, Australian National University ) accessed 14 May 2013.

He gained experience in the new land by boarding with and forming friendships with prominent gentlemen and became a flock owner when he bought 400 lambs a month before his 18th birthday.〔oepplinger">(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hero and Tyrant:Edward John Eyre's Legacy )〕 When South Australia was founded, Eyre brought 1,000 sheep and 600 cattle overland from Monaro, New South Wales to Adelaide and sold them for a large profit.
