Port Augusta (PA)
Port Augusta is located 322 km north of Adelaide and is a genuine crossroads with roads heading north to Alice Springs and Darwin, west to the Nullarbor and the Eyre Peninsula and east to Adelaide.
I will be doing my Community Placement in PA for 7 weeks from 21st April 2008 to 6th June 2008. I took a coach over to PA from Adelaide (ADL) on 20 April 2008 at 10.30am and arriving at 2.40pm. The ticket itself cost about AU$$23.05.
It isn't my first time here going to PA. 2 years ago, I went with 2 of my friends for a holiday at Flinders Rangers in December 2006. While traveling there, my friend wanted to drop by PA to hand up some scholarship documents before heading over to Flinders Rangers.
Anyway, back to my story again. I came over and stayed at Miles Street which is located pretty near the Port Augusta Hospital. Initially, I thought that might be the place where I would be working. However, it isn't. I am doing my placement at Flinders Terrace Health Centre. At the moment, I am unable to provide you with the pictures. I will try to post the picture in my next blog if possible. I apologize for that.
I am presently staying at Miles street. However, tonight I would be shifting over to Elizabeth Terrace. I don't have any photos with me at the moment. I shall try to post it up next time. Here are the pictures of the place that I stayed in Miles Streets. What I found amusing is simply the road names are shown in road itself. It is very different from Singapore whereby there is a road sign for the road names (pictures would be posted up in the next blog).

I guess I should stop for today. I won't be able to update frequently now due to lack of internet usage. However, I will try to update my blog soon.
