NATIONAL CARILLON

Amidst the shore of Lake Burley Griffin lies the National Carillon which is the most iconic structure of Aspen Island. This tower was a gift to Australia from the British government on their 50th birthday back in 1963. This mighty tower stands 50 meters high and has around three sections.

The most striking feature of this tower is the 55 bronze bells that are adorned on it and they range in different sizes making it look even prettier. If you are planning for a fun-filled time with family or friends then you can head out to this place and also stroll around on the well-maintained lawns. Make sure that you visit this place in the moonlight as the tower is lit in the evening and looks beautiful at this time.
