Myross Bush is in the Awarua electorate, and in the Awarua riding of the county of Southland, and had a population of 153 at the census of 1901. It is an agricultural and dairying district, and it has, also, extensive fellmongeries. As its name implies, it is a bush district, but most of the timber has been cut out, and rich farming lands are seen on every side. Myross Bush has a public school and post office, but the nearest railway station is that at Mill road, on the main line of railway, between Invercargill and Dunedin. The station is only four miles from Invercargill, and stands at an elevation of fifty-six feet above sea level. Myross Bush is the headquarters of the Presbyterian minister of the Waikiwi district, and it has a commodious church and manse.
