Stan Livingstone


Stan Livingstone was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League. He also played for Port [Melbourne Football Club|Port Melbourne] in the VFA and Melbourne.
Following his retirement from the VFL, Livingstone became a grazier and property investor. He owned a number of large rural properties in Victoria, including Tatura, Tullaree in Gippsland, and Murrundindi near Yea. He later moved to Curtis Island, Queensland with his wife, Esme.
During his time at Tullaree, Livingstone was a suspect in the sensational 1952 disappearance of the previous owner, a famous recluse named Margaret Clement, popularly known as the Lady of the Swamp. No charges were ever filed against him, although a Coronial inquest in 1980 found his account of the disappearance "far from frank".
Livingstone died in a fire near Mount Larcom, Queensland in 1992. His remains are buried in the Gippsland Memorial Park in Traralgon.
