Halfway Bush
Halfway Bush is a suburb of the New Zealand city of Dunedin. It is located to the northwest of the city centre, close to the point at which Taieri Road becomes the winding rural Three Mile Hill Road.

The suburb is connected to central Dunedin by Taieri Road, which runs thro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
