Civilian That month he was been appointed Governor of Queensland and sworn in on 1 October, the first Australian-born to hold the post. In 1951 his term was extended for another five years and then extended to 1 October 1957. Lavarack discharged his duties 'with a quiet and modest dignity' with a soldierly sense of duty, his friendly accessibility and desire to be of service to the people of Queensland. As Governor he held numerous patron and honorific appointments which come with that office. Because of ill health he was relieved of his Governor’s duties on 25 January 1957. He died on 4 December 1957 in his home at Buderim, Queensland and was accorded a state funeral and cremated. His wife, who had been president of the AIF Women's Association during World War II, survived him, as did his three sons, all of whom served in that war. In recognition of a life dedicated to service in the army and then as Governor, Lavarack Barracks at Townsville is named after him.

Perhaps during the 1920 presidential election campaign in which Cox was the (losing) Democratic candidate?
