Purari River

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Purari River

River, east-central New Guinea. Rising in the central highlands of Papua New Guinea, it flows about 290 mi (470 km) to the Gulf of Papua, an arm of the Coral Sea. Its lower course divides into five main channels that lace through a well-settled swampy delta. It is navigable for about 120 mi (190 km). Although found and partially charted in 1887, the river system was not fully traced until the 1930s.
