The expedition's purpose was primarily for Tindale to undertake further research on the tribal boundaries of south-western Australia, particularly investigating the distribution of the Satyrid genus Geitoneura as a 'cultural marker'. Tindale was accompanied by the entomologist Noel McFarland. Their expedition set off from Adelaide on 26 October (page 9), returning on 10 December 1968 (page 129).
