- In 1880 Johann Wolff built an organ for the Wesleyan Church in Port Adelaide. The organ has ten stop on two manuals and pedal. It was put into use on May 13, 1880. The instrument has been relocated three times, but has nevertheless been preserved in virtually its original state. In 1911 it was transferred to the Congregational Church in the Medindie district of Adelaide. Around 1942 it was placed in College Park Congregational Church. The church was later sold to the Seventh Day Adventists, who did not use the organ.
- In 2010 the organ was transferred by Wakeley Pipe Organs to the gallery of Saint Aloysius' Catholic Church in Caulfield. This church was built in 1923-1924. The organ was dedicated here on December 12, 2010. In 2017 the organ was restored by Hargraves Pipe Organs. It was put back into use on October 8, 2017 with a concert by Christopher Cook.
