Hi James,
Are you sure he died in Australia ? I ask because I found the following. You did not give his birth years so I took a look at census records.
1891 CLAPHAM, WANDSWORTH, HOLYY TRINITY, LONDON, ENGLAND
BURLEIGH
Bennett, age 49, journalist, author, born Scotland
Marion, age 41, wife, housewife, born Leeds, Yorkshire
Sherer, age 14, son, scholar, born New York, USA
Mina Alice, age 10, daughter, scholar, born Loughboro Junction, London
Beatrice Susan, age 5,daughter, scholar, born Brixton, London
BELGARD
Minnie, age 19, servant, domestic servant, born Lincoln, Norwich
so from this - right name, right occupation I am assuming he is the right fellow.So he was born around 1842 according to this census.
Here is a death which matches with yours showing him dying June 1914 and age is pretty close.

*******************
Here is a death of a Marion Burleigh who matches in age. Also the Sherer matches with name of son in census above. I wonder if Bennett is buried in same cemetery ?
