Geology
The river rises on a sandy mid-Pliocene Tangahoe Mudstone, formed in a shallow sea,[1] then its valley is cut down to early-Pliocene Whenuakura Group rocks (bioclastic limestone, pebbly and micaceous sandstones and massive siltstone), whilst the surrounding land is covered by mid-Pleistocene beach deposits of conglomerate, sand, peat and clay.[2]
