Morobe Province

Abstract

The major part of the province is composed of rugged mountain ranges with peaks rising to 3, 960 m above sea level. The Markham Valley almost splits the province in half; the Markham River flows into the Huon Gulf adjacent to Lae. The northern section is dominated by the high and rugged Saruwaged and Finisterre Ranges, and the southern section by the Kratke and Bowutu Ranges.
