Builder Roger H. Pogson Pty. Ltd., Sydney.
Date of Opus: 1971.

This “neo-baroque”organ was designed to provide adequate support to the liturgy and the congregation, and to provide a clarity and variety of tone appropriate to the performance of the classical organ repertoire.

The organ was built largely through the generosity of Mrs. Isobel Finchett, in memory of her late husband Albert Leslie Finchett, and by gifts, large and small from the congregation and the public. The Cymbel pipes are the gift of John Larter, in memory of his late wife Eileen Larter. The reed stops are the gift of the organist, Edward King. The specification of the organ was drawn up by Edward King with the advice of Sergio de Pieri. The members of the Organ Committee were the Reverend. W. R. Dowel (the then Vicar), Messrs. Bert Nicholson, Robert Ball and Robert Green (the then Churchwardens), and Edward King. The consultant to the Committee was Sergio de Pieri.

The project commenced in April 1967, and came to fruition in April 1972.
