City in Australia
Port Augusta is a small city in South Australia. Formerly a seaport, it is now a road traffic and railway junction city mainly located on the east coast of the Spencer Gulf immediately south of the gulf's head and about 322 kilometers north of the state capital, Adelaide.
Port Augusta has been able to capitalize on the growing eco-tourism industry due to its proximity to the Flinders Ranges. The Pichi Richi Railway is a major drawcard, connecting Port Augusta to Quorn via the Pichi Richi Pass.
Within Port Augusta is the City of Port Augusta's Wadlata Outback Centre, providing tourists with an introduction to life in the Australian outback.

PORT AUGUSTA SA SOUTH AUSTRALIA Past and Present
Port Augusta (post code: 5700) (32°29′S, 137°46′E) is the fifth most populous city in South Australia after Adelaide, Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Murray Bridge. It is a seaport located on the east coast of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia and is located at the head of the Spencer Gulf, 322 km north of the state capital.
It is natural harbour which was settled on 24 May 1852 by Alexander Elder and John Grainger. The port was named after Augusta Sophia, Lady Young, the wife of the Governor of South Australia, Sir Henry Edward Fox Young.
According to the 2006 Census the population of the Port Augusta census area was 13,257 people, making it the second largest urban area after Whyalla on the Eyre Peninsula.
In 1878, the town became the southern terminus of a proposed North South transcontinental line, headed for Darwin 2,500 km away. This 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway was later taken over by the Commonwealth in 1910 and later renamed the Central Australia Railway. In 1929 it was extended to its last terminus at Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
Between 1913 and 1917, a 2,000 km long east–west transcontinental railway (the Trans-Australian Railway) was built from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. This was built to standard gauge as part of a long term plan to harmonise gauges between the mainland states, causing a break-of-gauge at Port Augusta until it was extended to Port Pirie in 1937. The standard gauge Adelaide-Darwin railway was finally completed in 2003. Port Augusta is a stop on the Indian Pacific trans-continental train service on the Sydney–Perth railway and on the Ghan service between Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin. Two services a week for each train in each direction serve the station.
In the 1990s the narrow gauge line between Port Augusta and Quorn was re-opened as the Pichi Richi heritage Railway.

Local Life: Port Augusta, SA
As the roll out of the National Broadband Network gains momentum, we’re taking a look into the lives and businesses of Telstra nbn™ customers from across Australia.
Nearly 14,000 people call the small seaport and railway city of Port Augusta (which lies some 320km outside of Adelaide), home. Whilst largely an industrial city, eco-tourism is starting to boom in the area given Port Augusta’s close proximity to the stunning Flinders Ranges and the Pichi Richi Railway.
Port Augusta resident, Adrian Elliot, has been with Telstra for more than 35 years so it was only fitting that he became the first customer to connect to the nbn™ with Telstra in the area. He says that nbn™ has helped him expand his horizons and keep up to date on all the AFL action amongst other things.
We visited Adrian, his wife Joyleen and their Jack Russell, Boofa at their home to learn about their new life on the nbn™.
