    National Carillon is an accessible architectural landmark and a unique musical instrument situated on Queen Elizabeth II Island in Lake Burley Griffin, central Canberra.

    Accessed via paved level pathways approach the National Carillon was a gift of the British Government to the people of Australia in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the National Capital and includes automatic Westminster chimes like Big Ben.

    The National Carillon is a bell tower housing 57 bells, including one installed in 2020, which carries a welcome to Ngunnawal Country, known as the Ngunnawal Bell. These bells are played by a carillonist, using a keyboard known as a clavier, inside the tower.

    There is a large car park at the venue with accessible bays. Accessible toilets can be found 200m away at Kings Park, just under 400m away at Boundless Playground & National Gallery of Australia.
