Longbush, Wellington
Longbush is a rural community in the Carterton District of New Zealand's North Island. It is located in a valley southeast of the town of Carterton, and nearby settlements include Gladstone and Ponatahi to the north.
The Longbush area includes a valley enclosed by the Ponatahi Hills to the west and the slopes at the southern end of the Maungaraki Range that skirt around the back of the Windy Peak Ridge. The hill/valley area is a transitional area between the plains and the more rugged hill country to the east. The Gladstone, Central Plains and Martinborough areas wrap around the north and west sides of the Longbush area and the Hinakura, Tuturumuri, and Huangarua areas bound the eastern and southern sides.
Longbush has a small resident population composed mostly of pastoral farmers, agricultural workers and lifestylers.Notable people
