 Turama River (location)
| |
The Turama River is a river of Papua New Guinea. Approximately 10 miles (16 km) wide at the mouth, it narrows rapidly. This, combined with its location at the head of the Gulf of Papua, results in tidal bores sweeping up the river. The effects are noticeable as far as 100 km upstream.
