After collecting a party of settlers and two Aborigines, his party heads inland from the coast only to meet endless adversity; country: Australia; has been adapted into an opera of the same name written by Richard Meale with the libretto by David Malouf; David Lumsdaine's 'Aria for Edward John Eyre' also draws inspiration from Voss)
