Tindale left Groote Eylandt in June, 1922 and returned to Adelaide via Thursday Island, Weipa, Brisbane, Sydney.

Tindale requested one year's leave of absence from the South Australian Museum to assist the Church Missionary Society of Australia and Tasmania as an honorary member on the Groote Eylandt (Northern Territory) trip. Having convinced the Board of the importance of the expedition, Tindale was given 50 pounds in advance for specimen purchase. Of the 7,651 specimens Tindale collected, 487 were ethnographic. At this time Tindale was employed by the South Australian Museum as Assistant Entomologist.
