Kiunga is a port town on the Fly River[1] in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea,[2] just upstream from the D'Albertis Junction with the Ok Tedi River.[3] It is the southernmost terminus of the Kiunga-Tabubil Highway. Local industry rests on a cornerstone of freight and haulage, particularly from the Ok Tedi Mine and provisioning for the much larger town of Tabubil. Natural rubber has been an emerging industry more recently, with a processing/manufacturing plant being built in town.[4]
Surrounding swamps and rainforest lowlands are of interest to birdwatchers, with a high chance of observing crowned pigeon, yellow-eyed starling, large fig parrot and flame bowerbird as well as a large variety of more common species.
Kiunga has reliable 24-hour power. Locals are friendly, and there is no significant crime. Dial-up internet access is possible during business hours. Short term accommodation is available. Although Kiunga is accessible by road, this provides access only from Tabubil via the Kiunga-Tabubil Highway.
There are flights to and from the capital, Port Moresby, by both Airlines PNG and Air Niugini.Kiunga weather station readings are available online.[5] Its local geology is clay on limestone.
According to data for 2013, the city's population was 18,747 people.[6] Historical data is listed below.
Kiunga has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with very heavy rainfall year-round.
