My wife who left her home in Port Augusta in South Australia worked for a time in Fort Augusta in the mid 1970's

She had an interesting time trying to put a collect phone call from Fort Augusta to her parents in Port Augusta.

Same surnames, and almost the same named town was all too much for the international telephone exchange operator.
