- The Basilica of Our Lady of Victories in Camberwell was built in 1913-1918, and the church was dedicated on May 26, 1925. The organ of the church has been built in 1920 by the organ maker T.W. Magahy from Cork, Ireland. The instrument is arranged in two identical cases on either side of the large west window. In 1921 the organ was dedicated with a concert by the builder himself.
- George Fincham carried out a restoration in 1980. It was hereby amended and expanded. In 1990 the Australian Pipe Organs company carried out an overhaul, with the reeds in particular being re-voiced. Both Trumpets (Great and Pedal) from 1980 have been replaced by new ones. In 2018 a restoration was carried out by Hargraves Pipe Organs.
