Central Rivers
In Central Province, the rivers are not just water—they are lifelines, boundaries, and ancestral witnesses. They shape the rhythm of life, the flow of stories, and the growth of food. From the rain-fed streams of Sogeri to the tidal inlets of Manumanu, each river carries more than water—it carries identity.
Rigo Rivers
The Rigo District is home to a mix of coastal creeks and upland rivers, many of which spring from the inland mountain spine and flow eastward into the Gulf of Papua. Notable rivers include the Aroma River, Oiapu River, and Riwalirupu Creek, each carving its way through dense bush, ancestral lands, and swamplands.
Sogeri Rivers
Climbing out of the Port Moresby basin, the Sogeri Plateau reveals a cooler world of forests, gardens, and river trails. Here, the Laloki River and Goldie River dominate the landscape, flowing down from the Varirata hills and surrounding Sirinumu Dam, a key water source for the capital.
Mekeo Rivers
In the vast flatlands of Kairuku-Mekeo, the rivers crisscross like threads in woven matting. The Angabanga River, the most prominent among them, flows wide and dark through the lowlands, fed by smaller streams such as the Akaifu and Aipeana. These rivers bring rich volcanic silt from the inland hills, feeding endless gardens of taro, banana, sugarcane, and betelnut.
Manumanu Rivers
Far to the west, near the border of Central and Gulf Provinces, lies Manumanu Bay, where tidal rivers and brackish estuaries feed into mudflats, mangroves, and lagoon systems. These rivers—more like shifting waterways than permanent channels—are part of a delicate delta ecosystem.

Sogeri Rivers
The Koiari people, custodians of the Kokoda Trail, regard these rivers with deep respect. Certain pools are taboo—only entered during specific ceremonies or cleansings. Local lore speaks of river spirits in the mist, and birds that cry as omens near the rapids.
