Goaribari Island
Goaribari is an island in southern Papua New Guinea. It is located in Gulf Province within the Gulf of Papua. During high tides, parts of the island are inundated. The vegetation is thick rainforest.
Headhunting was evidenced by the discovery of thousands of skulls in village houses and the longhouse in the early 20th century. In 1901, two ministers and ten missionary students were murdered and cannibalized by island natives.
==Geography==
Goaribari Island measures about in east-west direction. Risk Point is the eastern extreme and southward of it there is a sand bank, nearly dry at low water, which extends nearly off the southeast side of the island. The island is covered with tall mangroves.
The island is a formation at the delta of the Kikori and Omari Rivers, which is just about above sea level; it consists of mud formation, sedimentary in nature, with localized Aird Hills. During very high tides (king tides during storm events), parts of the island become inundated. This has caused some deltaic villages to be relocated to higher ground.
