On 14 May 1886, David Andrade, his brother Will and half a dozen others formed the [[Melbourne Anarchist Club]], the first anarchist organisation in Australia. Andrade became the club secretary and one of its main propagandists.

The Melbourne Anarchist Club produced the journal ''[[Honesty (journal)|Honesty]]'', an Australian organ of anarchism which had substantially the same principles as those championed by [[Benjamin Tucker]]'s ''[[Liberty (1881–1908)|Liberty]]''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=McElroy |first1=Wendy |title=The Debates of Liberty: An Overview of Individualist Anarchism, 1881–1908 |date=2003 |publisher=Lexington Books |location=Oxford |isbn=0-7391-0473-X |page=7 |chapter=Benjamin Tucker, ''Liberty'', and Individualist Anarchism}}</ref> In a news agency at Brunswick, now an inner suburb of Melbourne, and later in Liberty Hall, Russell St. Melbourne the brothers operated the first [[anarchism|anarchist]] book shops in Australia.

Andrade's main works include ''Money: A Study of the Currency Question'' (1887), ''Our Social System'' (n.d.), ''An Anarchist Plan of Campaign'' (1888), and ''The Melbourne Riots and how Harry Holdfast and his Friends Emancipated the Workers'' (1892).

In the early 1890s, Andrade was the secretary of the [[Unemployed Workers Association]].

He became a settler with his family at [[Ferntree Gully, Victoria|Fern Tree Gully]]. However, bush fires destroyed everything around 1898. He was admitted to the [[Yarra Bend Asylum]], with his wife and four children left without support.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article60683799 |title=Legislative Assembly.

He became gradually weaker from old age in his final years, and died at the hospital on 23 May 1928. The cause of death was found to be senility and heart failure.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://prov.vic.gov.au/archive/0D4F46A8-F1B3-11E9-AE98-0DA4C6945B82 | title=1928/602 David Andrade: Inquest | date=23 May 1928 | publisher=Public Record Office Victoria}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Reeves |first=Andrew |title=David Alfred Andrade (1859–1928) |url=https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/andrade-david-alfred-5024 |work=Australian Dictionary of Biography |place=Canberra |publisher=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University |language=en |access-date=2022-04-18}}</ref> He was buried on 25 May at [[St Kilda Cemetery]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://smct.org.au/deceased-search/13895S | title=David Alfred Andrade | access-date=31 August 2023 | publisher=Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust}}</ref>
