Image of the Month


This image is of The National Carillon, situated on Aspen Island in Canberra, and was photographed last month during our short outing back to Australia.

The carillon was a gift from the British government to the people of Australia to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the national capital, Canberra. Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the National Carillon on 26 April 1970. The tower, standing 50 metres (160 ft) tall, was designed by Cameron Chisholm Nicol, a firm based in Western Australia. The concept was developed by Don Ho, one of the firm's architects, in 1968.
