National Carillon

The National Carillon is a striking bell tower located on Aspen Island, Lake Burley Griffin.

The Carillon was a gift of the British Government to the people of Australia in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the national capital and is played on a regular basis during the year by both local and visiting carillonists. With 55 bronze bells the National Carillon is large by world standards and each bell weighs between seven kilograms and six tonnes. With the tower rising to a height of 50 metres, the music of the bells drifts across Lake Burley Griffin and through Kings and Commonwealth Parks. The tower is lit at night, providing a magnificent landmark in the national capital.
