It acts primarily as a satellite town to Port Augusta with the town's railway station lying at a major rail junction linking the Port Augusta power station and the main east-west rail link to the coal rail link to Leigh Creek. It also lies on the junction of the Augusta Highway and the Flinders Ranges Way.[6] At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Stirling North had a population of 2,673.[2] HistoryThe town of Stirling North was surveyed in 1859 as "Stirling North" after Edward Stirling Snr,[17] but was renamed 'Catninga' after a nearby creek. In 1916 however, this decision was overturned and the name was reverted to 'Stirling North'.[18] In 1871, a prison was established near the town;[17] the Port Augusta Prison is still in operation today. On 17 February 1994, suburban boundaries were assigned.[1][3] The town has existed mainly to service the railways, with Leigh Creek coal freighted down to Port Augusta for use in the power station. The historic Pichi Richi Railway runs through Stirling North, between Port Augusta and Quorn, one of the only tourist attractions within the town.[23] The town's historic Davenport Reservoir and Storage Tank is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[7] FacilitiesStirling North is not normally a tourist destination, but is commonly used as a service stop by travellers who do not want to travel the extra 7 km into Port Augusta. The town is situated at the base of the Southern Flinders Ranges, and is often used by people travelling north. The town has a number of services including accommodation in the form of hotels, a public bar, a number of food shops, fuel outlets, a post office and public telephones.[26] Only two sporting venues are present in the town, a tennis court, bike track, park (with toilets), public school which has a large oval and a golf course.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}} References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Search results for ‘Stirling North, LOCB' with the following datasets being selected - 'Suburbs and Localities', 'Postcodes', 'Counties', 'Hundreds’, 'Local Government Areas', 'SA Government Regions’, 'Railway' and 'Gazetteer' |url=http://location.sa.gov.au/viewer/?map=roads&x=137.85442&y=-32.5526&z=13&uids=19,2,11,20,105,134&pinx=137.837890&piny=-32.554030&pinTitle=Location&pinText=Port+Paterson,+Locb |website=Location SA Map Viewer|publisher=Government of South Australia|accessdate=3 January 2019}} [8][9][10][11]2. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC41372 |name=Stirling North (State Suburb)|accessdate=2 January 2019|quick=on}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES ACT 1991, Notice to Assign |url=http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/other/sa_gazette/1994/17/482.pdf |website=The South Australian Government Gazette|publisher=South Australian Government|accessdate=6 January 2019|page=482|date=17 February 1994}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Monthly climate statistics: Summary statistics Port Augusta Power Station (nearest station) |url= http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_019066.shtml |publisher=Commonwealth of Australia , Bureau of Meteorology |accessdate=3 January 2019}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Search result for " Stirling North (SUB)" (Record no SA0063254) |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/#| publisher= Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure , Government of South Australia |accessdate=1 November 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Port Augusta City Council Rural Roads|url=http://www.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/11294/Port-Augusta-Rack-Plan.pdf|publisher=The Government of South Australia|accessdate=25 November 2015|date=November 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16275 |title=Davenport Reservoir and Storage Tank |publisher=Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources |work=South Australian Heritage Register |accessdate=12 February 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160215211415/http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16275 |archivedate=15 February 2016 |df=dmy }} 8. ^1 2 {{Citation |author = Manning Index of South Australia |title = Stirling North |url = http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/manning/pn/s/s6.htm#stirlingN |accessdate = 2007-05-15 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070129011909/http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/manning/pn/s/s6.htm#stirlingN |archivedate = 29 January 2007 |df = dmy}} 9. ^1 {{Citation| author = South Australian State Gazetteer| title = Stirling North| date =| year =| url = http://www.placenames.sa.gov.au/pno/other.phtml?recno=SA0063254#Other_Details| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930212504/http://www.placenames.sa.gov.au/pno/other.phtml?recno=SA0063254| dead-url = yes| archive-date = 2007-09-30| accessdate = 2007-05-15}} 10. ^1 {{Citation| author = Port Augusta City Council| title = Pichi Richi| url = http://www.portaugusta.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=849| accessdate = 2007-05-15}} 11. ^1 {{Citation|author=Flinders Ranges and Outback Town Directory |title=Stirling North |date= |year= |url=http://www.flindersoutback.com/city.php?id=9005780 |accessdate=2007-05-15 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829003827/http://flindersoutback.com/city.php?id=9005780 |archivedate=29 August 2007 }} }} External links
