Wow! Sounds like you need a train hit real soon, Lydia! Port Augusta is off the beaten track for many tourists, but it’s the gateway to the Outback!

The concept of time travel is always intriguin, Sandy N Vyjay – this is your chance to try it out without any space travel risks, haha! And trainspotting is all very well – as long as your accommodation isn’t too close to the tracks! That shunting can go on for hours!

I’d love to explore all of the ten sites when I travel to Australia. I look forward to the train experience most. The last time I was on rail was when I was 12

Port Augusta is really packed with exciting experiences. My interest was stimulated by the Time tunnel travel. It would be indeed fascinating to get lost in the annals of time, albeit temporarily. The other experience I would love is train spotting. I have a soft spot for the Railways.

It’s insane, Anne. We spent some time in and around Pt Augusta, then in Copley earlier this year and enjoyed the fantastic natural attractions of both areas. This blog post is my small (and possibly meaningless, but I had to do something) way of showing Pt Augusta as a great place to spend a few extra days in instead of driving through. Moving forward and re-inventing itself is what Pt Augusta has done, and can do again – we wish it the best in its journey and will be back to visit again, and hopefully inspire others to do so too. Thank you for your comment.

In Port Augusta the coal fired power station is going & the shop’s tomatoes are straight off the vine, thanks to @Sundrop Farms packaging solar & desal & greenhouses into one huge, new, successful venture. and now people want a solar power station to replace the old one being decommissioned. Now everyone wants to switch to solar: https://www.repoweraustralia.org.au/story-1

Of course RED is best, Tasha!! I hope you have the chance to see it all for real some day – this is an accessible version of the Aussie Outback, and all the better for being close to the sea!

Amazing post! The outback centre is definitely something I’d enjoy going to see and the red cliff walk looks amazing, I love the colour of the earth there! – Tasha

Haha, a LOT of visitors just pass through, Iris!! Back in the 90’s some of the tourist attractions might not have been so well developed, anyway. But you’ll know what to do next time you’re there, right?!?!?!

Haha, I wish!!! Pt Augusta tourist council, are you listening/reading??!! Port Augusta’s livelihood is currently under threat from a power station closure – if everyone passing through just stayed an extra day, it might help. There’s a LOT to see and do – and my loo id to complete. What’s NOT to love?? Hope you’re having a great time OS, my friend 😀
