The National Carillon is an icon of Canberra, not as many people have heard it as should have, as they don't get close enough, but the view of it across the lake is unmistakable Canberra.
It chimes automatically every 15 minutes, and occasionally is played by an experienced player, like today actually... it was hypnotic!
Opened in 1970, the Carillon has 55 bells weighing between 7kg and 6000kg.
..and yes, it is spelled 'Carillon'.
