Overview

Port Augusta is a coastal city on the eastern shore of Spencer Gulf with a 2021 census population of 13,515. The lifestyle blends seaside living – with homes at Commissariat Point, Blanche Harbor and Miranda – and outback charm, backed by desert‑climate weather, occasional whale and turtle sightings, and proximity to the Flinders Ranges. Residents enjoy a range of local amenities, including the historic Town Hall, several parks such as Apex and Braddock, a secondary school, the Cinema Augusta, and accommodation options like the Majestic Oasis Apartments and Augusta Courtyard Motel. The mix of city‑centre dwellings, suburbs such as Stirling North, and the western side of the gulf at Port Augusta West offers diverse housing choices.

The city sits at the crossroads of Australia, linking the Eyre Highway to Perth, the Augusta Highway to Adelaide and the Stuart Highway to Darwin, while twice‑daily coach services connect to Adelaide. Rail travelers can board the Indian Pacific or The Ghan, and the heritage Pichi Richi Railway runs from the nearby Stirling North station. Port Augusta Airport, 6 km from town, handles fly‑in‑fly‑out passengers for northern mines, ensuring the community stays well connected despite its remote desert setting.
