Located on Aspen Island of Lake Burley Griffin, the National Carillon was a gift from the British Government to the people of Australia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the national capital. It contains 53 bronze bells, and the columns (clad in quartz and opal chip) rise to 50 metres tall. The only access to the island is via a foot-bridge. The structure is quite beautiful - simple but deceptively complex. The pillars angle up to each other, reaching skyward. The middle section is (as far as I can tell) triangular, but with another hexagonal section contained within. It was specifically designed by West Australian architects Cameron, Chisholm, and Nicol to be unmodellable by me.
