This most northerly of the cross faults extends 24 km (15 mi) from northwest of Tohunga Junction[5] into the Rangataua Forest. At Tohunga Junction it crosses the Raurimu Fault with a complex series of faults. The fault to the west of this junction region has 65 m (213 ft) of
vertical displacement to the east  is 55 m (180 ft)
. This downthrown to the south normal fault has been
active for over 18,000 years
and has a dip-slip displacement rate of 3.5 mm (0.14 in)/year.[4]

The Ohakune volcanic complex (Rochfort ejecta ring and craters) which erupted about 31,500 years ago is situated on and aligned with the fault just north of the town.[6]
