About Port Augusta

Port Augusta sits at the head of Spencer Gulf in South Australia and is often called the "Crossroads of Australia," where major highways and rail lines converge toward Adelaide, Darwin, Alice Springs, and Perth. Home to around 6,500 people, it serves as a key gateway and supply hub for the outback. Notable points of interest include the SolarTower Receiver, the Horrocks Monument, and the Joy Baluch AM Bridge, while elevated spots such as Southern Lookout, Horseshoe Hill, Old Man Hill, and Bay Hill offer broad views across the gulf and surrounding landscape.
