Launceston Lawrie Abra Memorial Lodge

Number 2 on the Roll of the Grand Lodge
of Antient, Free & Accepted Masons of Tasmania, Australia.

Welcome!

Our Lodge meets monthly, except January. The normal meeting day is the fourth Thursday in each month except for December when it is held on the third Monday.  We meet at the Masonic Centre, 39 Brisbane Street, Launceston, in Australia’s island State, Tasmania.  The Lodge Tyles at 7:30pm and visitors are admitted between 7.45pm and 8:00pm.  Our Installation Meeting is held on the fourth Thursday in May commencing at 6:30pm with visitors admitted at 7:00pm.

If you are a Freemason and contemplating a trip to our beautiful State, or if in fact you are a Tasmanian Mason and intend to visit our vibrant city, be assured that we will welcome you.  Our normal Lodge attire is a dinner suit, however a lounge suit and tie is perfectly acceptable.  Access to the Masonic Centre for Freemasons is via the right-hand entrance door at the rear of the building, not the main door off Brisbane Street.

Visitors should note that there is a car park at the rear of the Masonic Centre, which is available for use after 6:00pm Monday to Friday and all times during the weekend.
