On the 2nd June 1871 the City again left London, bound for South Australia, arriving off Port Adelaide on Sunday 20 August 1871.

A relatively uneventful voyage, the City spoke to several vessels on the way including the Hindostan, from Newport to San Francisco; the Charlotte from Liverpool to Valparaiso; the Sam Mendell from Bombay to Liverpool; the Abbey Holme bound from London to Brisbane; and the Isurium bound East.

A passenger on this voyage, Mr. Melville Miller, kept a meticulous diary in which he records most of the happenings aboard.
