'''Benabena''', also known as Bena Bena, is a stretch of valley that extends to the east of [[Goroka]] town in the west and borders with the Upper Ramu area of [[Madang Province]] to the north, [[Ungaii District]] to its south and [[Henganofi District]] to its east. The name "Bena Bena" derived from a small hamlet or village just a few kilometres away from the once small rural station of Sigerehi in the Upper Bena area in the [[Eastern Highlands (Papua New Guinea)|Eastern Highlands]] of [[Papua New Guinea]]. The Bena Bena Valley was once known for a centre for weaving.
==History== An airfield was constructed near the village by [[Dan Leahy]] and [[Jim Taylor (explorer)|Jim Taylor]] in December 1932. A [[Lutheran]] [[mission station]] commenced operations at the village in 1934.
