On the 11th October 1866, the City of Adelaide reached South Australia for the third time, having departed London on July 27th, The Downs on the 28th and Plymouth on the 2nd August. She had left the English Channel in company with the ship Yatala, and although the Yatala was considered to be a faster vessel at the time, the City made the better crossing to Adelaide.

During the voyage, the City spoke to two other vessels - the French barque Jusselein on its way from Mauritius to Bordeaux and the Bremen ship Emilie on her way from Akjab to Falmouth.

Passengers aboard on this voyage included some colonists of long standing who made regular trips to England. These included Mr. Alfred Hawker and the Archdeacon of Adelaide, Mr. W. J. Woodcock.

The speed of this voyage was reported in the newspapers, as the City took less than seventy days to make the voyage pilot to pilot from Plymouth. Ultimately, the Yatala and the City of Adelaide shared the record for the fastest transit to Adelaide for many years. Unfortunately, the friendly rivalry between these two ships came to an end when the Yatala was lost when she ran aground near Cape Gris-Nez on 27th March 1872.

The Adelaide newspapers, including the South Australian Advertiser of 12 October 1866, printed an account of the voyage and the City's arrival in Adelaide.
