 Description of Port Augusta
Port Augusta is situated on the quiet waterways at the head of the Spencer Gulf, in close proximity to the spectacular Flinders Ranges. Off to the west and south-west lie a range of hills which once marked the territory of the Nakuma Aboriginal tribe to the north-west are two remarkable flat-topped mounts, peacefully lying underneath the sky's vast blue canopy.

The busy city was established in 1854 and has a very interesting Outback Centre featuring displays on Aboriginal and Outback history and other interesting things to do. You can also join tours around the Northern Power Station and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, both of which are very interesting and informative.

 Treks passing Port Augusta
Gawler Ranges
This rarely used route is a great alternative to crossing the Eyre Highway from Ceduna through to Port Augusta. Passing through the ranges and saltbush country there is the option to head further north to Kingoonya & onto Coober Pedy. [Feature Story]
