Milne Bay Province

Abstract

The total area of the Milne Bay Province is 251,133 sq km but the land area totals only 20,246 sq km. The Owen Stanley Range ends in the Milne Bay Province. It enters the Province at a height of 10 000 feet, and slopes away down to the coast. Nonetheless the mainland can be described as generally mountainous although only the mountains in the extreme south west of the Province reach some 1 524 m or more.
