Description of region
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 Nukunu Aboriginal tribe, and to the north-west are two remarkable flat-topped mounts, peacefully lying underneath the sky's vast blue canopy. Port Augusta offers all the conveniences and facilities expected from a modern city.

Regional Highlights

  • Wadlata Outback Centre 
    Walk through its Tunnel of Time, the story of an ancient land, its people and treasures Down Under. Through the mouth of Max the giant "Ripper Lizard", you'll discover how the region evolved and highlights you shouldn't miss.

  • The Water Tower Lookout is surrounded by lovely gardens. This tower was built in 1882 to provide a pressure water supply for the residents of Port Augusta West. From the balcony at the top of this tower you can enjoy excellent views of the town, the Spencer Gulf, the Flinders Ranges and the outback.
