About Lae
Lae, the capital of Morobe Province with the population of 400,000 people, is home to a diverse range of indigenous people and a lush green environment due to a 5-meter per annum rainfall. The Huon Gulf curves majestically around its shores, making Lae a picture-square seaside setting against the tough and rugged 2,5000-meter terrain that hugs the coast. Connected to the Okuk Highway, the longest road link into the Highlands and Madang Province, Lae is a vitally important part of the country's business industry and agriculture sector. It is home to the largest seaport in the country and a central central domestic flight capital of PNG. Lae is also the capital of nine districts of the province.
