Buried In Townsville
On the first of February 1992, Mabo was laid to rest in the Townsville cemetery.
His funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Townsville; guests and dignitaries from all over Australia attended.
His wife and children decided to bury him in Townsville, despite his firm wish that he be buried on his own land at Las.
...a restless spirit...
