In days past, before trains had dining cars and nowadays, well before there were hardly any long distance passenger trains, timetables were set up so that at appropriate times, the trains pulled up in a town with a Railway Refreshment Room (RRR). There would be a rush to the bar (if they weren’t a Temperance Room) and the tables in the dining room for the weary, dusty, thirsty and hungry traveller could get a meal before the train proceeded on. You could even go to a nice clean toilet and get some coal dust out of your eye!
Toowoomba had a massive RRR and it was famous for very good service and meals. Toowoomba’s RRR still exists and caters for special trains only these days (only two passenger trains pass each way to and from Charleville each week at unfriendly hours) plus is open for locals and still serves food and drinks in the opulence of yesteryear. You can even eat at tables on the platform, secure in the knowledge that a long distance train is not going to pull up and disgorge a hungry hoard.
My two photos show the RRR early on a quiet weekday morning, before the morning tea rush. If you are in Toowoomba, give it a go.
Yesterday's record-breaking high temperatures were a good excuse to walk upstream to shoot the falls. I couldn't get both the falls and the moss in focus, so combined two images.

Noch kann man eine Erfrischung brauchen, wenn man durch Hamburg geht. Es ist sonnig und warm. Einen wundervollen Tag euch allen!
Yet one may need a refreshment when you go through Hamburg. It is sunny and warm. A wonderful day to you all!
sitting at the top of what was once a busy landing stage for Ferries to Liverpool. Built in the 1870s it was once a busy watering hole for people leaving or moving on to the Ferry. The advent of the Train tunnel through to Liverpool directly made these outlying ferry stops redundant.

edit: We are in the grip of a heatwave (Aug 2022) so I've come to my b&w album to see if I can post a shot for Colour My World Daily today as it's too hot to go out to take photos - so nice to see little Jinks whom we lost nearly 5 years ago...

Hit 'L' to view on large.
On euro tour with Sean and Neil for 3 days of mayhem and a grand total of 8 hours sleep. Taking in some old and new sites and showing them some of what is out there as it was their first time. Also made time to meet up with the SPEXS crew.
Unsure on the history of when this rectory/convent was abandoned but seems to be a while now.
