The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Otago & Southland Provincial Districts]

Centre Bush

Centre Bush is in the electoral district of Wallace, and in the Winton riding of the county of Southland, and is traversed by the main road from Invercargill through Winton to the Lakes, and the Invercargill-Kingston line of railway. The local railway station and goods shed are in charge of an officer of the department; and the station, which stands at an altitude of 242 feet above the level of the sea, is seven miles from Winton, and twenty-six miles from Invercargill. At the census of 1901, the population of the village of Centre Bush was eighty-three, with fifty-four additional in the vicinity. The district is devoted chiefly to agriculture, but sawmilling and flaxmilling are also carried on. There is no post office in the district, but the adjoining settlement of Limehills affords facilities in this respect, and also for the education of the children of the settlers.
