Port Augusta

Port Augusta lies at the northern head of Spencer Gulf, where the dry margins of the Flinders Ranges meet the wide waters of South Australia’s gulf. Long a transport junction between Adelaide, the Outback and routes north and west, it developed from a 19th-century port into a service centre for the state’s interior. The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden introduces plant life adapted to Australia’s dry zones, while the city’s setting brings saltwater shoreline, open plains and red-toned ranges into close succession. Rail heritage remains part of the local story through the Pichi Richi Railway, which operates historic trains between Port Augusta and Quorn.
