Wylie (Australian explorer)

was an Indigenous Australian originally from the King George Sound tribe around Albany in Western Australia.

Wylie was subsequently one of the three Aboriginals to accompany Eyre and John Baxter on their final attempt to cross the Nullarbor Plain in 1841.

Several weeks later he proved loyal to Eyre when Joey and Yarry (the other Aboriginal person) murdered Baxter and deserted.

Despite the two Aboriginals accosting them and calling for Wylie to join them the following day, Wylie stayed with Eyre for the rest of the journey, impressing the French whalers they met in Rossiter Bay with his voracious appetite.

He spent a brief time as a native policeman, and also benefited from a government pension procured for him by Eyre, who remained in contact with him for some years afterward.
