12 Sylvia Avenue, Port Augusta SA 5700, Australia
12 Sylvia Avenue is a standalone house. The listing identifies the property simply as a house with no additional features noted.
The house is about 2 km from the Stuart Highway, which runs north to Darwin, and roughly 2 km from the Eyre Highway that heads west toward Perth. Both highways provide easy road access to the rest of South Australia.
Within 2 km you’ll find Camp Point, the Chinnery Park Oval, Flinders Drive‑In (a former drive‑in cinema), and the Joy Baluch AM Bridge over Spencer Gulf. Nearby accommodation options include the Augusta Courtyard Motel and the Majestic Oasis Apartments.
Port Augusta has a hot desert climate with very low annual rainfall (about 220 mm) and clear skies for much of the year. Summer temperatures can reach the high 40s °C, while winter nights may drop close to freezing.
Port Augusta is served by twice‑daily coach services to Adelaide, long‑distance rail services such as the Indian Pacific and The Ghan, and an airport about 6 km away handling fly‑in‑fly‑out flights for mining workers. The city's position at the junction of major road and rail links makes regional travel convenient.
The local economy supports regional agriculture and provides services to many mines in the interior, while tourism linked to the Flinders Ranges and heritage railways also contributes. Historically, electricity generation was a major industry, and a solar farm opened in 2020 continues the city’s shift toward renewable energy.
Port Augusta has several heritage‑listed sites, such as the Old Port Augusta railway station and the historic Port Augusta Town Hall, both located within the city centre a short drive from 12 Sylvia Avenue. The Wadlata Outback Centre, which showcases outback life, is also nearby.
