Queanbeyan Install

10 February 26

W Bro Nathan Cole, OAM GH, was proudly installed into the chair of King Solomon on 22 November 2025 by his father, VW Bro David Cole, PDGDC, in a memorable ceremony overseen by MW Bro Derek Robson, AM CMH, with over 30 distinguished Grand Officers present.

Nathan’s masonic journey began with his initiation in 2019 at the historic Hawkesbury Heritage Lodge No 150, followed by his Passing at Lodge Hornsby No 262 and Raising at Lodge Fitzroy No 241 in 2020. After his transfer to Melbourne in late 2020, where he became a valued member of Freemasonry Victoria, Nathan continued his dedication with another transfer in late 2023 to Canberra, where he eagerly joined Lodge Queanbeyan St. Andrew.  Andrew has maintained masonic tradition in Queanbeyan since 1877.

Originally known as Lodge St. Andrew, it merged with Lodge Queanbeyan to form today’s vibrant Lodge. The Lodge looks forward to celebrating the remarkable 150th anniversary of the Queanbeyan Masonic Centre in 2027, marking a proud chapter in its long-standing legacy. The future looks bright for Queanbeyan St. Andrew with a steady line of young men starting their masonic journeys here.
