The Kabenau (also Gabina or St. Augustin River) is a river in Papua New Guinea , which was discovered by geologist C. Schneider in 1887 and explored in detail by Hugo Zöller in 1888 .
The Kabenau rises in the Finisterre Mountains . It initially flows in a westerly direction, later in a northeasterly direction. The body of water forms the border river between the Finisterre Mountains in the north and the Krätke and Bismarck Mountains in the south. A few kilometers west of Rimba (Erimba, formerly Konstantinhafen) the Kabenau flows into the Astrolabebai .
