View across Lake Burley Griffin, looking towards the National Carillon at sunset. Canberra, Australia. The National Carillon, situated on Aspen Island in Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. The National Carillon has 55 bells housed in a 50m tall tower, and is in regular use. The height of the tower allows the music of the bells to drift across Lake Burley Griffin and through Kings and Commonwealth Parks. The best place to listen to the National Carillon is one where you have an unobstructed view of the tower and usually within a radius of one hundred metres though sound can usually be heard much further away.
