Famous Australian Freemasons

Famous Freemasons

Over the years many men of importance have been Freemasons. This is a reflection of the fact that these people have shared the philosophies of Freemasonry.

They include several Kings, political leaders and industrial identities - among them, King Edward VII and VIII, King George IV, V and VI, Sir Winston Churchill, Henry Ford and American Presidents and Vice Presidents including George Washington, Theodore and Franklin D Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman.

In music, people like Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, W.S. Gilbert, Sir Arthur Sullivan and George Gershwin were Freemasons.

Famous Australian Freemasons include explorers Matthew Flinders and John McDouall Stuart; aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith; Prime Ministers, Sir Edmund Barton, Sir Robert Menzies, Sir John Gorton and Sir William McMahon; and entertainers Smokey Dawson, Roy (Mo McCackie) Rene and Chips Rafferty. Australia's current Governor-General, Major General Michael Jeffery, MC is a Freemason, as were his predecessors Lord Stonehaven (G-G 1925-1930) and Lord Gowrie, VC (G-G 1936-1944).

A number of Freemasons, including Messrs Gouger, Morphett, Hanson and Kingston, arrived in South Australia in 1836 with Governor Hindmarsh and the first settlers on HMS 'Buffalo'.

Other famous South Australian Freemasons include Sir James Hardy; former Lieutenant-Governor Chief Justice Sir Samuel Way; and former Governors, Brigadier-General Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven, VC (later became Lord Gowrie), Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harvey, Sir Robert George and Sir Eric Neal.

Are we allowed to vouch safe living freemasons with the kind of integrity the men have? My mate Tony Lauer, ex NSW Police Chief Commisioner is a mason who called off for the duration of his Commisionership to prevent favours being asked, this is the integrity of the man and the men down under, who believe it is their right to correct the manners and morals of men in society, many current serving justices magistrates and other emergency services personel and also politicians of rank and fortune to the lowest humble pensioner stuggling to survive practice the noble arts that teach, visionary, prophacy and about royalty. I admire the head of Philippines Security, I sat talking to him in lodge and had a ride around where my hotel was with number seven it was a great evening in your magnificant country I will never forget.
