From SOJ Winter 1996:

The organ at Camden Uniting Church is one of two organs built by Harrison & Harrison, Durham, England, in Australia, the other being in St Mark's Anglican Church, Fitzroy, Melbourne. It was originally built for a residence in Bowral in 1888 as a two manual instrument with 10 stops, two couplers, mechanical action and without pedal stops. It was purchased from a private house in Campbelltown in 1906, enlarged by C.W. Leggo in 1932 and restored by Arthur Jones in 1966. S.T. Noad & Son added two stops (Oboe 8 on the Swell and Rohr Flute 8, which is essentially a Hohl Flute, on the Great) and pedals on tubular-pneumatic action. In 1987 it was stored and resited to its current position on the opposite side of the church by P.D.G.Jewkes Pty Ltd whilst the church was being remodelled. The Fifteenth on the Great was added by Jewkes.
