The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden, established in 1996, spans 250 hectares and is situated just 2 kilometers north of Port Augusta on the Stuart Highway. This expansive garden offers breathtaking views of the Flinders Ranges and showcases a diverse array of flora native to the Australian desert. Visitors can explore three walking trails that highlight vegetation from the Great Victoria Desert, Flinders Ranges, Gawler Ranges, and Eyre Peninsula's West Coast.
Absolutely Fabulous. Loved the myriad of walking trails, clearly signposted and easy to follow. Wonderful to walk through so many variations in landscape. The cafe was great, although the wait for food a little long, and my coffee was not terribly warm. The nature inspired ice creams are a must to try though.

Australian Arid Lands Botanical Gardens Open 7.30am to sundown daily. Lovely walking tracks, beautiful variety of plants, even ideas on how to plant out your small yards at home. Beware the toilet is inside the Cafe building which opens at 10am on weekends so we witnessed several people digging a hole. Maybe an outhouse is required! The arid Gardens were great we saw a large variety of birds, especially at the bird guide as it had a pond, we watched over a dozen variety of birds and several shingle back lizards enjoying a drink and several wrens having a bath. A great morning we had. The variety of flora and fauna was great to see. Huge car park. When entering the inner garden stop and place a donation in the box

It's a beautifully layed out arid botanical garden, however dogs are only allowed in picnic areas which aren't worth visiting if you have a dog. This severly limited our experience here and they should look at opening up more spaces for leashed dogs to explore, otherwise there's a whole demographic of travellers you're missing out on.

An amazing array of plants from our arid areas. Who knew there were so many beautiful lush plants and stunning flowers growing out there in such harsh climate. I did the self tour on Sunday in the rain and loved it so much I came back for the guided tour with Shirley on Monday morning. Thoroughly enjoyed it, well worth the visit and definitely jump on the 10am tour.

Water Tower Lookout is a historic iron water tower located just west of Port Augusta. Built in 1882, it now offers panoramic views of Spencer Gulf, salt pans, and the Flinders Ranges. Visitors can climb four flights of stairs to reach the lookout point for a 360-degree view of the city and its surroundings. The area also features attractions like the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden and the Military Memorabilia Museum.
This place is worth visiting in Port Augusta. It's not too from the city. It was closed on late Saturday when we visited this site, but it was still enjoyable looking around the place. Just a little walk down the same road brings you to a bend, which provides some beautiful picturesque views of Port Augusta horizon.

Its a water tower designed to increase the water pressure in surrounding houses. Makes for a good lookout. Good views if your half fit. I guess sunrise or sunset would be a good time for photos. 40 steps to the first landing, then another 30 to the top.

🌇 Unique Lookout with Panoramic Views This quirky lookout offers a fun twist—it’s perched atop a tall water tower, adding a bit of adventure to the climb. Once at the top, you’re rewarded with sweeping views of the city stretched out in the distance. It’s an unexpected vantage point that delivers on both scenery and experience. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Ah, the ol’ water tower! History abound, impeccable grounds, a staircase that hasn’t changed since it was built - but that VIEW!! TOTALLY worth the steps to get there, three levels of leg straining and stopping for a quick breath, but when you get to the top it will take your breath away!! After that you’ll appreciate the view x

The Matthew Flinders Red Cliff Lookout offers excellent views of the Flinders Ranges and Spencer Gulf. It is a simple lookout where early explorer Matthew Flinders once stood, providing a great spot to reflect on his journey. The area was first explored by Flinders in 1802, and it holds historical significance as Edward Eyre and J.A. Horrocks also made significant expeditions in the region.
The lookout was very nice, glad you can get relatively close to the edge and actually see alot of the view. It would be nice to walk further down towards the beach and also along the cliffs but with the current heat it will be another trip.

Port Augusta Golf Club is a picturesque course with a well-equipped clubhouse offering a bar, restaurant, and spacious dining area overlooking the lush greenery. The staff are friendly and accommodating, providing quick tours of the kitchen and warm welcomes to visitors. While the greens may be cut back during off-season maintenance, the overall course is well-maintained and offers great views of the Flinders Ranges. It's an ideal stop for golf enthusiasts looking for a fun round in the outback.
Was able to sneak on after finishing early from work. The guys in the clubhouse were very welcoming & gave me the quick run down/map of the course. It's a good standard for a country course. The greens were just sanded which was a bit disappointing but not taking points away from maintenance ahead of winter. Rest of the course was a good standard.

Lots and lots of plants. Mostly Succulents. Good prices. Great for kids. 7 yr old loved the peacocks, chooks (Chicks soon), friendly horse, talking parrot and the "strange" plants lol. Plus coffee, toilet, interesting old wares, friendly chat with owner. Fascinating place all up. Definitely worth a visit. Buying plants?

Not a great deal of plant varieties offered. Staff were talkitive, friendly and nice. It was great to see the animals but they were not very accessible to look at, apart from the horse, which we were allowed to pat. For buying plants there was not much to choose from and selection was extremely limited; as a family outing experience the petting zoo at Stone Hut is worth the extra drive over stopping here.

Keith Jones Memorial Park is an excellent choice for a family barbecue or gathering, offering a safe playground in a spacious setting. However, it is important to note that the restroom facilities require more frequent inspections as there have been instances of needles being found. Despite this drawback, the park provides ample shade, well-maintained lawns without any litter, and a designated area with tables and benches for relaxation.
Great park for the family to enjoy, plenty of shade, BBQ, playground, public toilets and more than enough room for the kids to run around...what a shame homestead park next door is no more

Great place for a family bbq or gathering safe playground in a large area! The toilets however need to be checked more often since there can be needles found in them apart from that great location!

Did not manage to see the wooden part of the bridge there anymore. Not sure if it’s vanished or removed.
