Robert Quayle Kermode (1812 – 4 May 1870) was a British politician. He was a member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council and the Tasmanian House of Assembly in the 1850s and 1860s.[1] In 1852 Godfrey Mundy claimed Kermode to be the richest Manxman in the world, in his book Our Antipodes. Kermode's mansion, Mona Vale, itself was at the time the largest house in Australia.[2][3]
