Port Augusta, Administrative center in South Australia.
Port Augusta stands at the head of Spencer Gulf, functioning as a central point for railway lines connecting northern and southern Australia.
The region served as a trading site for Aboriginal peoples for over 40,000 years before European settlement began in the 1840s.
The city maintains strong connections to both Indigenous traditions and industrial heritage through its museums and community events.
The Port Augusta City Council manages municipal services, infrastructure development, and community programs for approximately 13,500 residents.
The closure of Northern Power Station in 2016 marked the transition of Port Augusta from coal-based energy production to renewable resources.
