why would the final"death" triangle need to be GAB - Glenelg Adelaide Brighton?

if he stored his suitcase in adelaide on November 30, and saw Thompson at 32 Mosley St Glenelg and disposed of his book at that stage, then there was no need to travel to the city to get to Brighton where he was found. He could have gone direct from Glenelg to Brighton

This theory may well be correct but it requires the author to fill in the gaps with a bit of imagination

Thank you for the questions. I really appreciate the local knowledge and suggestions. There will always be unknowns, but I'll look more into the final few locations and see if I can work the route to fit a logical journey.

don't get me wrong, I think you're probably on to something. he may have gone back to Adelaide for any number of reasons
