Myross Bush lies cradled by the gentle sweep of Southland's rolling farmland, a landscape painted in broad strokes of emerald and ochre. It lies 6.3 km north-east of Invercargill (from Invercargill: bearing 54°T), and is situated 5.0 km east-north-east of Rosedale. The land here is a tapestry of pasture, occasionally broken by stands of native bush that whisper with the passage of the wind, a subtle hum that underpins the quietude. The Waihopai River, a kilometre distant, carves its patient course through the terrain, its waters reflecting the wide, often overcast skies that are characteristic of the region. To the north, the land rises gradually, hinting at the distant Heale Ridge, a more rugged silhouette against the horizon, some thirty-five kilometres away. Lake Bennett, a mere four kilometres from Myross Bush, offers a stiller, reflective counterpoint to the flowing river, its surface often mirroring the clouds in a tranquil embrace.

The economic heart of Myross Bush beats to the rhythm of agriculture, with dairy farming forming the bedrock of its prosperity, the rich soil yielding its bounty season after season. This has been the enduring pursuit, a legacy passed down through generations, shaping the very character of the place. While the immediate vicinity doesn't boast the dense canopy of Hokonui Forest, which lies some twenty-one kilometres eastward, the spirit of the land is one of quiet cultivation and steady growth. The Waihopai Embankment Walkway, a short four-kilometre journey, offers a chance to tread paths trodden by those who have long called this place home, a subtle connection to the history etched into the soil. Donovan Park, a scant five kilometres away, provides a communal space, a testament to the enduring human presence and the simple pleasures found in the shared landscape of Myross Bush.

About This Myross Bush Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Myross Bush, Southland, New Zealand at coordinates -46.36667, 168.41667. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
