  • Walcker built an organ for the music dealer William Henry Pailing in Sydney in 1861. After delivery in 1862, he placed the organ in its sales area, after which it was sold to the Evangelische Kirche in Sydney. In 1868 it was transferred by James Broderick to All Saints Anglican Church in Singleton. In 1890 the organ was relocated to the Church of Saint Peter in Hamilton.
  • Since 1973 the organ is present in the Church of Saint Stephan in Mittagong. It was placed here by Albert Mildenhall and Arthur Jones, who also revised it. The disposition will have been modified over the years. The organ does not appear in Walcker's work list. Moosmann and Schäfer give the opus number 184, other lists 186.
