Dirranbandi Railway Station
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
Dirranbandi is a town and locality in south-west Queensland, located in the Shire of Balonne. It sits on the Castlereagh Highway and the Balonne River. The railway reached Dirranbandi on 22 May 1913. Dirranbandi had the honour of being the destination for the last mail train to operate in Australia.
Dirranbandi is said by some to be an Aboriginal word meaning “swamp abounding in frogs and waterfowl”. Although this is possible, there is no evidence in any of the region’s languages to support this. Other possibilities include a Yuwaaliyaay dialect placename, Dhurrunbandaay (“hairy caterpillars move in single file”) and Yuwaalaraay noun, dhirrinbaa, meaning “bad weather camp, on high ground”.
Did You Know: Actor Ray Meagher grew up near Dirrabandi. He is best known for playing Alf Stewart on ‘Home and Away’, and credits one of his character’s catchphrases “Stone the flamin’ crows!” to a man who was
Roma Street Railway Station, view from Albert Street
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
The Roma Street Railway Station was completed in 1875 as the terminus of the newly constructed railway line from Brisbane to Ipswich. It was a fine two-storey brick building with a large carriage shade designed by Queensland Colonial Architect FDG Stanley.
Originally the Station had direct vehicular and pedestrian access from Roma Street, but this changed in the late 1930s when new railway lines were installed between the building and Roma Street effectively turning the Station building into an island platform.
By the late 1990s the Station was in a poor state. It was largely unoccupied and suffered from a lack of maintenance. The rook leaked in many places due to damaged skylights, and there was considerable damp and termite infestation evident. Stage One Works commenced on site in 2012, and involved making the whole building structurally sound and watertight, as well as the restoration and reconstruction

The Roma Street Railway Station has high cultural significance having been the main Brisbane Station early in its history and the point of departure for many long-distance travellers for generations. The building is also architecturally important as an exceptional example of late 19th-century railway station architecture.
Over the years the building suffered haphazard renovations as well as from the lack of maintenance. Architectus in association with Michael Kennedy Heritage Architect worked with Queensland Rail and a team of consultants in the planning of the Stage One Stabilisation Works which commenced in 2011, and started onsite in 2012. The works involved making the whole building structurally sound and watertight, as well as the restoration and reconstruction of external elements on the upper floor.

Railway Station, Clifton. No 110
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
Clifton is a town in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, situated just west of the New England Highway, about 50 km south of Toowoomba. The lands around the town were first settled by Europeans in 1840. The township came about from the opening of the railway line from Toowoomba to Hendon in 1869 but was limited to the station, a hotel and a few buildings for several years.

Varieties of ferns on railway station, Kuranda, Northern Queensland
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
Kuranda is a town and locality on the Atherton Tableland in the Shire of Mareeba, Far North Queensland. It is 25 km from Cairns, via the Kuranda Range road. It is surrounded by tropical rainforest and parts of it, particularly along its eastern edge, are protected within the Kuranda National Park and Barron Gorge National Park, both of which belong to the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
The rainforest around Kuranda has been home to the Djabugay people for over 10,000 years. Europeans began to explore the area throughout the nineteenth century. Kuranda was first settled in 1885 and surveyed by Thomas Behan in 1888. Construction of the railway from Cairns to Herberton began in 1887 and the line reached Kuranda in 1891. The current railway station was built in 1915.
