Cape Pallarenda Quarantine Station, Historical quarantine station in Pallarenda, Australia.
The Cape Pallarenda Quarantine Station contains multiple buildings constructed in 1915 near Townsville's coastline with separate facilities for different passenger classes.
The station was built using materials from an earlier 1884 quarantine facility at West Point on Magnetic Island, serving as a crucial health checkpoint during the 1919 flu epidemic.
The facility maintained social hierarchies of the era through separated living spaces for different passenger classes and designated areas for Asian maritime workers.
Located at 1 The Esplanade, the former quarantine complex now functions as an Environmental Park with restored buildings housing Queensland environmental agencies.
During World War II, the station expanded its role beyond health services to support military operations with coastal defense installations and supply management.
