Galley Reach is located around 75 kms west of Port Moresby. It comprises of 4 river systems that all converge in to the reach (mouth of the river on the Papuan coastline). The majority of the rivers derive from the Owen Stanley Ranges and meet toward the basin. There are also many mangrove creeks found in the system.
