Living in Myross Bush
Myross Bush is an Invercargill locality on the western fringe, named for the bush on the Myross family's property in the tradition of Southland's personal-name-plus-bush nomenclature that produced Mabel Bush, Gummies Bush, Gropers Bush and the rest of the district's arboreal catalogue. The locality sits in the western residential and farming fringe west of Invercargill, where the city's grid gives way to the western Southland plain and the property sizes increase accordingly.
The Myross Bush area is the western Invercargill fringe at its working residential edge: a mix of established outer-suburban housing and the rural-residential blocks that the flat Southland land produces when the city's density requirements are behind you and the section sizes ahead become aspirational. The New River Estuary's western edge is within reach for the wetland and birdlife access that the locality's position near the coast provides.
Invercargill's western services and the CBD are within the flat driving distances that the city's geography consistently makes reasonable. Lorneville's industrial and brewing activity is nearby for those who appreciate the geography of craft beer production.
Local Invercargill primary schools serve the Myross Bush area. The Myross family's bush, like most of Southland's named bushes, is largely an historical abstraction at this point.
