It's the battery. A hot battery produces less cranking amps, so while everything else starts, it won't start your motor. Once it cools, it "seems" to be working fine. Replace it with at least a 560CCA battery, and you should be good. If you're in NSW, and you're an NRMA member, NRMA offer a replacement battery service, and at the same time they will check that the alternator is working fine etc, etc.
