Goroka

The Papua New Guinea Highlands define the setting of Goroka — elevated valleys and surrounding ridges give this provincial capital a cooler climate than the country’s coastal lowlands and support coffee cultivation. In Eastern Highlands Province, Goroka is an important commercial and administrative centre for communities across the interior. It is best known internationally for the Goroka Show, a long-running cultural gathering in which groups from around Papua New Guinea present sing-sing performances, dress and dance. The town is also home to the University of Goroka, a major teacher-education institution.
