Morobe Province

Papua New Guinea

Morobe Province, in Papua New Guinea, shares 41 connections with 5181 other places across 14 topics, from natural history and colonial governance to wartime campaigns. Nature topics form the largest cluster, grounded in forests holding over 1,000 species of birds and mammals, including the cassowary and tree-kangaroo. Germany ties run deep: the province takes its name from Adolfhafen, an outpost of the Deutsch Neuguinea-Kompagnie. Military connections trace to Australian troops forcing the surrender of German colonial forces on 21 September after the battle at Bita Paka.
