Organ - A single-manual organ of six stops thought to have been built about 1880 by the Melbourne builder William Anderson. Originally placed in the rear gallery, the organ was restored and resited behind the central altar in 1977. This is a rare intact example of Anderson's work and with a case design differing from his other work.
