Here are a couple of Adelaide double deckers photographed by Doug Colquhoun. The photo of the Leyland is dated 1953. I also have a couple of his photos of Leyland single deckers which I can post later if people are interested.

From memory the Adelaide trolleybus system closed in July 1963; the
double deckers were withdrawn some time earlier, possibly around
1958 when the trams were closed. I visited Adelaide in September
1959 (school holidays) when the main services were operated by the
Sunbeam single deckers with a few Leyland Cantons still used in the
peak hours.
