Olsobip is a station town in the north of the Papua New Guinean Western province, located on the Upper Fly River.[1] It is the seat of the Olsobip Rural LLG. It has a rural airport (OLQ) but, set in a rich forest, it is inaccessible by road. As a result of its isolation, accurate census data is difficult to obtain from Olsobip.
