EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment captured in June 1841, English explorer Edward John Eyre (1815-1857) and his Aboriginal friend Wylie are warmly greeted by Captain Rossiter of the French whaling ship, "Bearer." Eyre, looking relieved and disheveled after completing his arduous trek across the harsh Australian outback, is seen here in the company of Wylie, his faithful guide and companion. Exhausted and near starvation, Eyre had embarked on his trek in 1840 after being stranded in Western Australia following the failure of his attempt to reach Perth from Adelaide. His journey, which lasted over a year, took him through treacherous terrain and extreme weather conditions. The sight of the French whaling ship was a welcome relief for Eyre and Wylie, who were rescued and taken aboard. The English captain, Rossiter, extended a hand of friendship and assistance to the weary explorer and his companion. This encounter marked the end of Eyre's grueling trek and the beginning of his return to England as a hero. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of Eyre and Wylie in the face of adversity. It also highlights the complex relationship between Europeans and Indigenous Australians during the colonial era, as well as the role of chance encounters and acts of kindness in shaping historical narratives.
