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]
Geography
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]
The principal land use is grazing on native vegetation.[6]
History
The origin of the name is unclear but there has been a Surbiton pastoral run since at least 1866 when it was operated by William Killgour.[7][8]
Education
There are no schools in Surbiton. There is a primary and secondary school in neighbouring Alpha, but only to Year 10. For Years 11 and 12 of secondary schooling, the nearest schools are in Clermont, Barcaldine and Emerald.[6] Boarding schools and distance education are other options.
