Welcome to Jeffrey´s Trackside Diner in its June 2017 location! This is a place to gather, a place without an agenda or a topic.  It's free to all, to read, to join in, or just to enjoy some virtual food.  Our gracious hosts ask only that we avoid certain hot-button topics like politics and religion that sometimes raise tempers. You'll get to know the friendly staff just by listening.  It's a place to share your day, your concerns, your joys and sorrows.  Welcome aboard! This month, the Diner has a new location far away from the old and trodden tracks of home! Following  Brent´s suggestion, the Diner will be "under downunder" on the island of Tasmania, where we will explore the many tourist lines giving us a "whiff of the good old colonial times". Tasmania,  abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as "Tassie", is an island state of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is located 240 km (150 mi) to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by Bass Strait. The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania, the 26th-largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands. The state has a population of around 519,100 (as of June 2016), just over forty percent of which resides in the Greater Hobart precinct, which forms the metropolitan area of the state capital and largest city, Hobart. We start our stay on the island with a visit to the Westcoast Wilderness Railway in Strahan, TAS. The West Coast Wilderness Railway is a reconstruction of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company railway in Tasmania between Queenstown and Regatta Point, Strahan. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sHVmhjp1eCI" width="425" height="350"></iframe>   Enjoy the video! The diner was renamed in honor of our dear departed esteemed friend, Jeffrey Wimberly. The RIP track is the place for us to pay our respect to our friends and forum members who are no longer with us. <h2 style="margin:0.83em 0px;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:center;">The RIP Track</h2> <a style="color:#055dae;" title="View larger (opens in a new window)" href="http://www.beileid.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Virtuelle-Trauerkerzen-anzuenden-300x200.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="height:auto;" src="http://www.beileid.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Virtuelle-Trauerkerzen-anzuenden-300x200.jpg" alt=" " /></a>   <ul> <li>Barry Arnold aka BlownoutCylinder</li> <li>Jerry Cox aka Cox47</li> <li>Wolfgang Dudler aka Westport Terminal</li> <li>Bob Hartle aka cmrproducts</li> <li>Ed Murphy</li> <li>Bill North</li> <li>Stein Rypern, Jr. aka Steinjr</li> <li>Andy Sperandeo</li> <li>Jeffrey "Running Bear" Wimberley</li> <li>Alan B</li> </ul> "Gone to the Great Roundhouse , but not forgotten"!
