Introducing Port Augusta
The new wharfside development in Port Augusta, with grassed foreshore (esplanade) and boardwalk area overlooking the water, has given the town a much-needed revitalisation. The compact town centre has surprisingly narrow streets and shady trees, making it pleasant for a stroll and there’s plenty of retail therapy.

Port Augusta is a major crossroads for travellers. From town, roads head west across the Nullarbor to WA, north to Alice Springs in the NT, south to Adelaide and east to Broken Hill in NSW. With railway lines converging here, trains can be caught to Alice Springs and Darwin, the east and west coasts, Adelaide and Melbourne.
