Riding the Aurukun Pavé

Neither of us have been riding very much since arriving in Aurukun, mostly due to other distractions such as fishing and travelling to other places. Assuming this would be the case we only brought the one trusty Specialized 26″ mtb with us. Most riding has been on the few tracks leading out around the now mostly dry swamp and floodplains country or to Aban the nearest beach fishing spot (no swimming due to huge snapping handbags). The country is interesting to ride through with lots interesting bush, bird life (heaps of brolgas) and many tracks of the other creepy crawlies that live in this part of the world. The going can be rough at times with a lot of the tracks being sandy and corrugated or what I call Aurukun Pavé (I think the pictures tell the story).  There is one particular place I pass on each ride up the river, that has a break in the mangroves that looks perfect for fishing.   As I approach it quietly each time I catch glimpse of a large croc  near the water’s edge sink silently without a trace.
