Salisbury Mark Lodge No 52 has a Twinning connection to Wallaroo-Burunga Mark Lodge which amalgamated with Moonta Mark Lodge No 2 a few years ago. A plan was conceived between a Past Master from Moonta Mark Lodge No 2,  who is now a member of Salisbury Mark Lodge No 52, and the current Worshipful Master of Moonta Mark Lodge No 2 to ‘lend’ a brother for an Advancement. This was not the first time that Salisbury Mark Lodge No 52 had supplied a brother for Advancement to Moonta Mark Lodge No 2, that occurred back in 2006.

On the 10th October 2015, His Excellency The Honourable Hieu Van Le AO, Governor of South Australia and VWBro. Mal Hancock of Corinthian Lodge No 34, representing the Freemasons Foundation dedicated the training vessel "As Good As It Gets".

The following information is provided by the 'Mark/Mariner Implementation Committee'.   The decision to allow Mark Lodges to conduct the Ceremony of Elevation has been authorized by the Mark and Royal Ark Council. The motive for the change is the declining membership of the Order of Royal Ark Masonry and a determination to ensure the preservation of the Elevation Ceremony.   It is important to note that there are no changes being imposed on existing Royal Ark Mariner Lodges who choose to continue under current arrangements.
