Tabubil

Tabubil lies in a highland valley of Papua New Guinea’s Star Mountains, where steep, densely forested ridges form part of the upper Fly River catchment. The town was developed in the 1970s to support the Ok Tedi mining project, which has shaped its roads, housing and role as a working centre in a remote part of Western Province. Rather than a coastal PNG settlement, Tabubil is defined by mountain weather, heavy rainfall and its inland location near the Indonesian border. Supplies and travellers commonly arrive by air or via the road linking the town with Kiunga, farther south in the Fly River system.
