 +
 +  * [[https://melbournecatholic.org/st-patricks-cathedral/music-at-st-patricks/organ|The Cathedral Organ]], St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne.
 +    * Rarely have concerts. https://melbournecatholic.org/events/music-at-st-patricks-cathedral/
 +    * I love this album that was recorded on it: [[discogs>1470169|Festival Of Organ Masterpieces Vol. 1]]
 +  * [[https://cathedral.org.au/worship/music/the-t-c-lewis-organ/|T C Lewis Organ]], St. Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne.

 +  * [[https://ohta.org.au/organs/organs/Ahrend.html|Ahrend Organ]], Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash Uni. Clayton
 +    * Haven't heard it, but it's a pretty, Art Decoish organ.
 +  * St. Michael's used to have free concerts, but it's not much of an organ. Interesting interior though.
 +  * St Mary Star-of-the-Sea in West Melbourne is baby pink and has baby blue pipes.
