I was lazy this morning. It was cold. Maybe 5 degrees Celsius. There was a heavy dew. As usual I left my outer tent door open and some of the moisture came into the tent.

This may be my latest start to a riding day. I had an omelette for breaky in the roadhouse.

I had a small headwind and sidewind. The sky became overcast and it was a little cool.

My day wasn't big so I took the time to look at some flowers. It felt good to stop often. Sometimes I see nice flowers while I'm doing a good speed or I've got a long distance to go so I don't want to stop.

Please forgive me if I've posted pics of the same flower twice.

The vegetation height increased. Today's tree pic.

I arrived at Billabong at lunchtime. There is a roadhouse and a separate restaurant/cafe.

The restaurant serves beer. The menu is very basic and similar to the roadhouse.

I will share my business between the two places.

Rain is forecast for tomorrow. I am due for a rest day so I will take it tomorrow.

Today's ride: 49 km (30 miles)
Total: 3,885 km (2,413 miles)

Bill ShaneyfeltWonderful assortment of flowers! Thanks for posting them. Unfortunately, I do not have time to dig through the internet to find IDs for them currently... Seems to be happening more often recently.
