As you will be technically in transit at Adelaide, you can easily clear Immigration/Customs there. I have, on occasions when flying Garuda, needed to stop in Melbourne on Business rather than continue on to Adelaide. I have found check-in staff to be accommodating in tagging bag to Melbourne rather than Adelaide (no "additional charge" payable).
Your Boarding Pass will, as it is computer-generated, show Sydney as your final destination.
