Turama River
The Turama River is a river of Papua New Guinea. Approximately 10 miles wide at the mouth, with a total length of 302 km, it narrows rapidly. This, combined with its location at the head of the Gulf of Papua, results in tidal bores sweeping up the river.| Tap on a place to explore it |
