National Carillon Canberra

The National Carillon is on Queen Elizabeth II Island in Lake Burley Griffin. The 50m tall brutalist structure was a gift from the British Government to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the National Capital.

A carillon is a bell tower with a least 23 bells played by pressing keys on a keyboard. This makes carillons the largest musical instruments in the world. The National Carillon has 57 bells, making it large by world standards.
