Except for the adjoining coal-mining townships of Runanga and Dunollie, five miles north of Greymouth, buildings in the fifty mile long stretch of coast between Westport and Greymouth occur only in small groupings widely scattered along the coastal highway, Runanga and Dunollie are located two miles inland, and are situated partly on soft and saturated soil.
