Brief geological information is given for points to be visited over eight days as illustration of the Adelaide System in South Australia, with an emphasis on Adelaidean glacigene rocks. The Callanna Beds are seen in the Arkaroola region, the Aldgate Sandstone (and equivalent basal Burra Group clastics) is seen near Aldgate, Port Germein, Copley and Arkaroola. Tillites of the Umberatana Group are seen near Sturt Gorge, Bute, in the type area near Arkaroola and a number of other points. Parts of the Wilpena Group are seen in the type section, Brachina Gorge, and other places, and the base of the Cambrian is seen near Sellick Hill, Brachina Gorge and Italowie Gorge.
