Surbiton is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Surbiton had a population of 80 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. Surbiton was incorporated into Alpha.[3][4][5]
The Belyando River forms the north-western boundary of the locality. Native Companion Creek flows from the south-west (Alpha/Beaufort) through to the north of the locality where it becomes a tributary of the Belyando River.[6]
The Alpha Clermont Road passes through the locality from the south (Alpha) to the north-west (Quetta).[6]
