Website | EmailThis functional sculpture's white quartz and marble chipped walls, captures your attention immediately. The contemporary structure houses an enormous clavier, or series of bells, and is the only city landmark that sings. Located on Aspen Island in Lake Burley Griffin, the sounds of the bells carry from the water to the surrounding city. Given to the city of Canberra in 1963 as a gift from Britain, the bells can be heard every day. A picnic in Commonwealth Park is the best place to enjoy this unique gift.
