Tabubil is a town located in the Star Mountains area of the North Fly District of Western Province, Papua New Guinea.[2] The town, including the adjoining relocated village of Wangabin and the industrial area of Laydown (where industrial equipment was originally laid down before being installed at the mine ~1970–1980), is the largest settlement in the province,[3] although the provincial capital, Daru is a similar size.[4] It had a recorded population of 10,270 at the 2011 census.[1]
Tabubil is set in extremely dense jungle fed by one of the highest rainfalls in the world. The town is the largest settlement in the country that has never been a provincial capital, or incorporated within one. The town was established primarily to serve the Ok Tedi Mine, which is currently mining copper and gold.
