Sedgeford is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Sedgeford had a population of 0 people.[1]
On 22 November 2019, the Queensland Government decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns: Alpha, Aramac, Barcaldine, Jericho and Muttaburra. Sedgeford was incorporated into Alpha.[3][4][5]
The Central Western railway line and, to its immediate south, the Capricorn Highway form the northern boundary of the locality. The Mamboo railway station (23°38′55″S 146°48′53″E / 23.6486°S 146.8147°E) services the locality and Beaufort to the north.[6][7]
Native Companion Creek rises in the south of the locality near Troopers Bluff (elevation 570 metres (1,870 ft)) and flows north exiting the locality to the north-west (Alpha). The creek eventually becomes a tributary of the Belyando River.[6][8][9]
The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[6]
