About Us

At Tea Tree Gully Lodge Nº 218 we welcomed adult men of all ages, colours and cultures as equals in our organisation.

Despite many misapprehensions, we are not a religion, a cult or a conspiracy. Nor do we have any sinister motives or practices.

Our values are non-denominational, ethical and based on deep respect for every human being.
