Carillon's new G Bell arrives

The federal government is welcoming the arrival of the Carillon's new G Bell, otherwise known as the Ngunnawal Bell.

The enormous bell, weighing in at over 5 tonne, has been transported from the UK in time for the Carillon's 50th anniversary.

The bell will be one of the largest bells within the tower and will add the missing G note to the repertoire of music.
