Yuleba (/ˈjuːləbə/ EW-lə-bə) is a town in the Maranoa district of South West Queensland, Australia, located 420 kilometres (260 mi) west of the state capital, Brisbane along the Warrego Highway. At the 2006 census, Yuleba had a population of 183.[1]
The town is said to be named after an Aboriginal word meaning "the place of water lilies".[2]
Yuleba was established in 1878 and was connected to the railway in 1879.[3] As a railhead for the region to the west, the town was an important centre until the railway was extended again to Roma in 1910.[2] The last Cobb and Co stagecoach run, on 16 August 1924, ran between Yuleba and Surat.[4] Today, Yuleba is the site of a modern mining and processing facility working a high grade silica deposit.[5] The town has a small public library that services the community.
