Balimo

The Aramia River defines the setting of Balimo — this lowland town stands in the waterlogged interior of Western Province, within the wider Fly River basin. Balimo is the administrative centre of Middle Fly District, giving it an important civic role across a sparsely settled part of Papua New Guinea. Roads are limited in this terrain, so river travel and the local airstrip are important practical links. The surrounding country is characterised by rainforest, swamps and communities for whom sago is an important staple, rather than the highland scenery often associated with Papua New Guinea.
