- The Holy Trinity Church in Kelso was the first permanent church built west of the Blue Mountains, in 1834-1835, with the first service with Easter 1835. The orginal chuch had a low tower. In 1875 the tower was strucked by lighning twice, and was rebuilt higher. The first organ was installed in about 1840. The current instument is the second pipe organ of the church, built in 1883 by Alfred Hunter & Son. It is a two manual instrument with eleven stops, dedicated in July 1883.
- The organ has been preserved in almost the orignal state. Georffrey Kendall worked on the instrument around 1970, and replace the original swell-lever with a balanced swell-pedal.
