Inangahua Junction
Inangahua Junction is a small town in the northwest of New Zealand's South Island. It is located at the confluence of the Inangahua and Buller Rivers, north of Reefton and southeast of Westport. Murchison is to the east. The town of Inangahua is just to the east of the junction. The town's main industries include forestry, coal, farming and sawmilling. There is a small primary school, shops, fire station and earthquake museum. The population was 159 in the 2006 Census, an increase of 9 people from 2001. The name of the town refers to ''inanga'', the Māori word for whitebait. Inangahua Junction was formerly known as Christies Junction.
==Earthquake==
The town was substantially affected by an earthquake on Friday, 24 May 1968. At 5:24am, the earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale struck the town, and many landslides and aftershocks followed. The entire population of around 100 was temporarily evacuated. Two people were killed,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GeoNet – M 7.1, Inangahua, May 24, 1968 )〕 and another three died later when a helicopter evacuating survivors crashed.
