Daru, the capital of Papua New Guinea’s Western Province, is a vibrant island township located near the mouth of the Fly River on the western side of the Gulf. Positioned just north of Torres Strait and Far North Queensland in Australia, Daru is situated on its own namesake island. As of the 2011 census, the recorded population of Daru was 15,142.

Transportation to and from Daru is facilitated by Daru Airport (IATA: DAU, ICAO: AYDU). The airport has a long history, dating back to or before World War II when it served as a refueling stop for Allied fighter aircraft. The Australian Army reconstructed the airport in 1965. Presently, PNG Air and Air Niugini provide air travel services, connecting Daru with various destinations, including the national capital, Port Moresby.

The Western Province is a coastal province situated in the southwestern region of Papua New Guinea. It shares borders with the Indonesian provinces of Highland Papua and South Papua. Daru serves as the provincial capital, while the largest town in the province is Tabubil. Notable settlements in the region include Kiunga, Ningerum, Olsobip, and Balimo. The provincial government, along with other provinces such as North Solomons, Chimbu, and Northern, has expressed interest in changing the province’s name. The government currently refers to it as the Fly River Provincial Government, although this name change remains unofficial as it has not been amended in the Constitution of Papua New Guinea.

According to the 2011 census, the Western Province had a population of 201,351, residing in 31,322 households. The population was distributed across the province, with 79,349 people recorded in the Middle Fly District, 62,850 in the North Fly District, and 59,152 in the South Fly District. On average, households throughout the province consisted of 6.4 individuals.

Daru experiences a tropical monsoon climate, characterized by heavy rainfall for most of the year, with a drier period typically observed from July to October.

The major economic activity in the province revolves around the Ok Tedi Mine. Initially established by BHP, the mine has been the subject of significant litigation by traditional landowners regarding environmental concerns and disputes over royalties. Currently, the mine is operated by Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML).
