Yes. Edward Eyre was the first European to attempt to drive cattle and sheep from New South Wales to Adelaide. It was while he was on this expedition in 1838 that he came across Lake Hindmarsh and camped there. Eyre named the lake after the Governor of South Australia, Sir John Hindmarsh.

Yes, he did, on 27 August 1840. Lake Eyre was one of several salt lakes which blocked Eyre's attempt to cross from south to north. Other salt lakes which seemed to Eyre to form an impassable horseshoe-shaped barrier included Lake Blanche, Lake Torrens and Lake Callabonna.
