Eastern Bush is on the main road from Otautau to Clifden, on the Waiau river, and, at the census of 1901, it had a population of only seventeen. The district is in the electorate of Wallace and in the Waiau riding of the Wallace county. It has a post office and public school, and dairy-farming is extensively carried on by the settlers. The local cheese factory is worked on co-operative lines, and is the property of the neighbouring farmers. Eastern Bush is five miles from Clifden and seven from Orawia. Services in connection with the Presbyterian church are held in the district.
