Gallant half-centuries by injured veteran Jacques Kallis and debutant Faf du Plessis pushed South Africa to 388 after an extraordinary pre-lunch session where they lost five wickets for 17.
Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey then survived a nervous few overs with the hosts stuttering to 111-5, a precarious 273-run lead.
Australia 550 and 5 for 111 (Warner 41, Kleinveldt 3-14) lead South Africa 388 (Smith 122, du Plessis 78, Kallis 58, Hilfenhaus 3-49) by 273 runs.
