I had a small headwind and the first half of the day was hilly. The traffic was very busy and courteous today.
There were two big roadworks. The stop/go men were good and held the traffic for me to pass safely.

This is the surfing capital of Australia. They hold professional surfing competitions here every year.

I stopped at a camping store and bought a Sea to Summit brand mattress. Hopefully it will be more durable than my old Thermarest one.
Next stop was Dad's house. It was great to see him.
They have been unusually angry recently due to the wet weather. When I was leaving, one of them stung me in the neck. 🤬
