About Goilala

Goilala District is located in the northern inland area of Central Province, bordering both Morobe and Oro Provinces, and covers the mountains and valleys of the Owen Stanley Ranges. Incomes are moderate and agricultural potential is high in the lower valleys where transportation to markets is available. The

upper valleys have low incomes and low agricultural potential because of their steep slopes and poor weather conditions. There is a gold mining operation at Tolukuma, north of Woitape, however, it has little influence on the incomes of the rural population
