The Grey River Area lies on the south coast of Newfoundland. In general, it includes the land between Grey River and Haie de Vieux, lat. 470 40’ - 47°50’, long. 51’001 - 57°15 1. The area may be reached by steamer, which runs weekly between Port aux Basques and Argentia. The nearest major settlement is Burgeo, 24 miles west along the coast; Ramea, a minor fishing port lies 12 miles southwest on Ramea Island. The Grey River area is 87 miles due south of Buchans. It is accessible from the air, and both Grey River and Long Pond have adequate facilities for landing small sea planes. The Grey River fishing settlement lies on Grey River, about half a mile from the open sea. It is built on a small triangular alluvial cone, about 400 by 600 feet in dimension, inhabited by 30 families, with a total population of 250. The settlement is bordered on two sides by cliffs, which rise steeply to 800 feet above sea level. Inland, the country is uninhabited. / fr
