Paceman Scott Boland took the first wicket when he caught Sarel Ervi in the slips for 18 and all-rounder Cameron Green caught the number three Theunis de Bruyne for 12.
Australia were unchanged from the First Test in Brisbane, while South Africa made one change, bringing in De Bruyne for Rassie van der Dussen at number three.
The first day also doubled up as a tribute to Shane Warne in the first Test at the spin bowling great’s home ground following his death in Thailand at the age of 52.
Teams lined up with floppy hats, the Warne trademark, and watched a video of the legspinner’s career highlights before play began.
Australia won the Gabba opener by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
