Geography

It is on the western edge of the town of Kaikohe. To its north east are the extinct volcanic cones of Putahi and Tarahi and Lake Ōmāpere.

Geology

It is a basaltic scoria cone in the southern part of the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field. The geological basement to the nearby volcanoes is likely to be the Permian-Mesozoic Waipapa Group argillite at perhaps more than 1736 ft deep as defined by drill hole at the nearby thermal Ngawha Springs and seismic studies.

Culture

The slopes of the hill contain a memorial park to Hōne Heke Ngāpua, a great-grandnephew of Hōne Heke and leader in Māori autonomy.
