Dugald Ranald Ross Munro (12 June 1930 – 20 June 1973) was an Australian grazier and politician who had a single term in the House of Representatives from 1966 to 1969. He represented the Division of Eden-Monaro for the Liberal Party.
Munro was the son of Jean (née Kater) and William Ranald Munro. His father was a stock and station agent in South West Queensland, as well as a champion polo player. His maternal grandfather Norman William Kater was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council.[1] In 1938, when Munro was seven years old, his father fell to his death from a hotel balcony.[2] His mother remarried the following year to John Broinowski, and moved to Sydney.[3]
Munro was educated at Cranbrook School, Sydney, from 1946 to 1948, where he played rugby for the first XV. He was also a junior tennis champion. He entered the family pastoral business and ran stations in Goondiwindi, Queensland, and Marulan, New South Wales. In 1958, he married socialite Romayne Hordern, with whom he had four children.[4]
