-Freemasonry in Australia can be traced to the First Fleet’s arrival in 1788 with record keeping beginning at that time. The United Grand Lodge of New South Wales was officially formed in 1888, and later became responsible for Freemasonry in the Australian Capital Territory. Complete records were kept from the time of the lodge’s creation.
