Narrative:The student pilot was conducting circuit training at Aldinga when the weather began to deteriorate and elected to discontinue the training. He conducted a normal crosswind landing. However, he later reported that when the aircraft's speed was down to about 30 knots, he relaxed too soon and did not maintain enough aileron pressure to keep the upwind wing down. A strong wind gust then swung the aircraft around to the left. The pilot was unable to correct the movement quickly enough and the right wingtip struck the ground. The aircraft then nosed over and came to rest inverted.
