| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Port Augusta Wharf |
| Registered Name |
Wharf - Port Augusta |
| Significance |
The wharf is a significant structure in itself, primarily because of its size and scale. This makes it unusual outside the port of Adelaide. However, the wharf is particularly significant and does much to define the town as a port, while its size and scale also reflects the early economic significance of Port Augusta.
Port Augusta was an important centre through which supplies were taken to the remote interior and from whence produce from the interior was shipped to destinations in Australia and overseas. Most of this produce passed across the wharf. Sea transport was particularly important in the period before the railway network was completed. |
