The Consecration of Mathew Flinders Lodge #80, established under the banner of the Grand Lodge of Queensland on Saturday, December 3, 2022, marked the beginning of an exciting new era of Freemasonry in the Loddon/Mallee region of Victoria.

Designated as a travelling lodge in the truest sense of the word, our Warrant encompasses our authority to embraces Craft, Mark and Royal Ark Mariner Degrees.
We meet on the 1st Saturday of every even month (January excepted) in hotel rooms that are temporarily fitted out as a Masonic Lodge in a ‘tabletop’ format that emulates that of our Brethren who met in inns over 300 years ago and where they laid the foundations of the principles and tenets of Masonic ideals practiced today.

We also meet at the Inglewood Masonic Centre in Inglewood. Our motto – ‘Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth’ (Amor Fraternitatis, Relevamen et Veritas) – is proudly displayed on all Mathew Flinders correspondence, newsletters and other official Lodge papers as a permanent reminder to our lodge members of the principles of loving all, offering help and assistance to those who need it and to be truthful to ourselves and to others.

Our lodge is family and friends focussed and the 1st Saturday of every odd month dedicated to social events open to members, ladies, partners and friends. We have enjoyed BBQs, lunches, visits to exhibitions, etc. and we will continue to promote other exciting and interesting programs.
