Lodge of Australia has many prominant masonic figures , which feature in her long history,  as members of this wonderful Lodge as recorded since 1828.

One of our key forefathers is John Stephen (1771-1833). Worshipful Bro John Stephen is an important figure in our Lodge , as he, along with other fraternal brothers,  sent a petition which resulted in Warrant № 820 EC being issued in satisfaction by HRH Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773-1843)  the Duke of Sussex and Grand Master on 21 June 1828. Therefore, this ariticle is to remember Bro John Stephen and learn a little about an important Brother of this Lodge.

Another very important bit of information is that Worshipful Brother John Stephen was the first Worshipful Master of our Lodge.
