Port Augusta’s appeal is one that you will not forget. Both a paradise for active and passive travelers, it offers various attractions for those who are into adventures and those who want to relax. The bright blue waters of Back Beach shine as the sunlight strikes it, making it appealing to sea goers, so it’s no surprise that fishing and sailing are popular activities to do here. However, destinations, like Rotary Park, Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden, and Curdnatta Artists’ Platform Gallery, are just as highly appreciated for their beautiful sights. Wherever you lay your eyes, everything is visually appealing. If you are ready to see beauty everywhere, this city is the place to go.
