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] DescriptionSurrounding 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. PopulationAccording to data for 2013, the city's population was 18,747 people.[6] Historical data is listed below.
