The river here formed a long, wide, and fairly shallow pool against the base of a hill, with a swift, rocky, higher gradient tributary entering at the downstream end. The substrate here consisted of rocks, cobbles and gravel, with the banks of the river heavily shaded by primary lowland rain forest, but with the center of the river channel unshaded.
