Ngunnawal Bell

The arrival of the D and G Bells from the John Taylor & Co foundry in Loughborough, UK on 31 January 2020 meant that the National Carillon was better able to compete on a world stage with more complicated music.
The larger of the two, the G Bell, was renamed the Ngunnawal Bell after the original owners of the land, the Ngunnawal People of the Australian Capital Territory, and was inscribed with the following:
YUMALUNDI DHAWURA NGUNNAWALNGU NGANAA
GURALILI YARABI DHAWURA MANAGAY
WELCOME TO NGUNNAWAL COUNTRY
YOU MAY LEAVE YOUR FOOTPRINTS ON OUR LAND

When it comes to heavy bells Taylor's of Loughborough are the best.
The bells are tuned using a system called Simpson tuning.
Different parts of the bells have metal taken off on the inside to give 5 harmonics.
They are the strike note
An Octave below
An Octave above
A minor third
And the dominant which is a perfect 5th.

Gillett and Johnston's large bells are nicer to listen to then Taylors.

@@95tupolev that is subjective, not fact.
And yes gillets are gems with out a doubt
