The Post Office

The Post Office in this district is centrally situated about three miles from One Tree Point railway station, on the Dunedin-Invercargill line of railway. The surrounding country is gently undulating, and includes large areas of rich, agricultural land. The main road that leads from the railway and on through the Raka-houka to Grove Bush, on the one hand, and to Mabel Bush, on the other, passes through the settlement, which has a public school, and a hall for public meetings. The district, which is eight miles by a good road from Invercargill, is in the Awarua riding of the county of Southland, and in the electoral district of Awarua. At the census of 1901, the population of Roslyn Bush, understood as the local post office and adjacent houses, was only eleven, while that on the Roslyn plains numbered 119 souls.
