Yungaba Migrant Hostel, Immigration hostel in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, Australia.
The two-story brick building contains symmetrical wings, a central entrance loggia, and two three-story towers along the Brisbane River.
Built in 1885 by William Peter Clark following John James Clark's design, Yungaba operated as an immigration depot and military hospital.
The name Yungaba derives from the Gubbi Gubbi Aboriginal language, translating to 'place of sunshine' in English.
The interior layout separated married quarters into ground-level cubicles while single residents stayed in gender-segregated dormitories upstairs.
The facility received its first residents from the Duke of Buccleuch ship on December 6, 1887, marking the start of Queensland's immigration growth.
