Quick Facts Location, Country ...

The valley is largely along the line of the fault on the eastern edge of Whaingaroa Harbour. It flows over Coleman Conglomerate and, at its lower end, blue-grey Puti Siltstone, both of Puaroan age (about 150 million years ago).[1]

From about 1870 Sam and Tom Wilson ran a flax mill powered by a wheel in the river.[2] Much of the native bush was cleared for farming between 1910 and 1920.[3]
