Stan Livingstone (18 September 1913 – 13 October 1992[1]) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2] He also played for Port Melbourne in the VFA and Melbourne.[3]
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 (nee Liddington).[1][3]
During his time at Tullaree, Livingstone was a suspect[4] 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".[5]
Livingstone died in a fire near Mount Larcom, Queensland in 1992.[3] His remains are buried in the Gippsland Memorial Park in Traralgon.[1]
