Great! Thanks for the info! Do you (or any one else) know which side of
security it is on?

Know from personal experience that there's a pay shower downstairs in
the Munich Hauptbahnhof. Probably not one in the train station itself
at FRA, but if you take a local train into the main Frankfurt bahnhof,
then connect to an IC to Berlin you might find one at either end.

Yeah, I know that in 2004 there was one in Berlin's Zoo Bahnhof, a
chain called "McClean" (I used a toilet there and was impressed -it
lives up to its name). It would not surprise me if they have since
moved to the new Hauptbahnhof. I'll be staying with a friend in
Kreuzberg, so it won't matter if I have to wait until arrival in Berlin
to shower, just the chance to do it after a long flight would be nice
since I will probably have the time.

There is an excellent "McClean" toilet at Paris Gare du Nord. Bit of a
trek if you're caught short in Frankfurt, but you never know ...

Well, there is probably a very selfish reason for that as it takes a 10
to 24 hrs flight to actually get to Sydney ... internationally
