Later Life
A few years before his death the Queensland parliament voted Landsborough £2000 for his services as an explorer, and with this he purchased a pastoral property at Caloundra which he named Loch Lamerough. He died and was buried there in 1886. In 1913, his widow had him reburied at Toowong Cemetery.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean—when boredom seems the very stuff of life.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Die two months ago, and not forgotten yet? Then there’s hope
a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
