Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
100 years of Freemasonry in KiamaPrint Page 
A plaque commemorates 100 years of Freemasonry in Kiama.
Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around six million.
The Kiama Masonic Temple was built in 1878 and was originally a Temperance Hall for the Sons and Daughters of Temperance. For many years, it was the largest place for public meetings in town and it was purchased by the masons in 1897.
