Mount Superbus lies 99 kilometres (62 miles) south-west of the centre of Brisbane, Australia and is South East Queensland's highest peak at 1,375 metres (4,511 feet).

The peak is a remnant of the Main Range shield volcano which erupted between 25 and 22 million years ago.

The Condamine River rises from a spring located on the western slopes of Mount Superbus.

Teviot Brook, a major tributary of the Logan River, has its headwaters on the eastern facing slopes of the mountain.
