National Carillon and Lake Burley Griffin at Sunrise - Fine art print of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia - Located on Queen Elizabeth II Island (formerly known as Aspen Island), 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. Carillons have a minimum of 23 bells. With 57 bronze bells the National Carillon is large by world standards. The pitch of the bells ranges chromatically through four and one half octaves. The bells each weigh between seven kilograms and six tonnes. Cast in England by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough, they are fine examples of the art of bellfounding. With the tower rising to a height of 50 metres, this allows the music of the bells to drift across Lake Burley Griffin and through Kings and Commonwealth Parks. The tower is lit at night, providing a magnificent landmark in the national capital. The best location to listen to the National Carillon is anywhere with an unobstructed view of the tower, within a radius of about 100 metres. The carillonist may be greeted at the base of the tower approximately five minutes after the recital. - Image ID: AU-ACT-CANBERRA-0007

The vibrant hues painted the clouds, creating a mesmerising backdrop for Canberra's skyline. Black Mountain, known as Galambary to the Ngunnawal people, rises 812 meters above sea level and is a significant natural landmark in Canberra. It forms part of the Canberra Nature Park and is home to diverse native flora and fauna. The mountain holds cultural importance for the Ngunnawal people, serving as a traditional site for ceremonies and gatherings. Perched atop this mountain is the Telstra Tower, a 195-meter-high telecommunications and observation tower completed in 1980. Originally known as Telecom Tower, it has become a prominent feature of Canberra's landscape, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding regions. The tower is currently undergoing renovations, with plans to reopen in 2026, incorporating elements that celebrate Ngunnawal culture.
