Information taken from the church's website http://www.midcoast.com.au/~stthomas/History.html:

St Thomas' is the fifth oldest church still in use in Australia. The 1855, the J.W. Walker & Son organ was ordered by the "Morpeth Church, Newcastle" for St Thomas' Anglican Church, Port Macquarie, NSW. It was described as a "finger and barrel" organ with job number 574. It was restored in 1970 by H.W. Jarrrott from Brisbane and further restoration work has been undertaken. The barrel mechanism is in working order and consists of three studded barrels, each containing eleven hymn tunes, making 33 in all. Its landed cost in 1857 was 161 pounds sterling, and it was housed in the gallery built in 1844 to accommodate the Seraphine (early harmonium) and choir.
