The city sits at the junction of the Eyre Highway to Perth, the Augusta Highway to Adelaide, and the Stuart Highway to Darwin, providing extensive road links. It is also a stop on the Trans‑Australian Railway and the Indian Pacific and The Ghan train services, with the Port Augusta railway station about 2‑3 km away.

Port Augusta was proclaimed a natural harbour in 1852 and has heritage‑listed sites like the Old Port Augusta railway station and the Port Augusta Town Hall. The city’s name honors Lady Augusta Young, and the area is part of the traditional lands of the Nukunu people, with the Barngarla name Goordnada.

Radio stations serving the area include ABC North and West SA (639 AM), ABC NewsRadio (102.7 FM), and the community station 5AU (97.9 FM). Television is supplied by the ABC, SBS, GTS/BKN (channels 7, 9, 10) and Foxtel, while the weekly newspaper The Transcontinental covers local news.

Residents are most often employed in community and personal services, professional roles, and trades such as technicians, labourers, and drivers. The local economy also benefits from regional agriculture, mining support services, and tourism linked to the Flinders Ranges.
