The foundation of regular Freemasonry in Australia was absolutely and essentially Irish in its origin, and was due, in the first place, to an Irish Military Lodge in which young settlers were initiated, and who were then granted a dispensation by the Military Brethren to form a Lodge: and in the second place to the constitution of that Lodge under a regular Warrant granted by the Grand Lodge of Ireland.
