List of carillons in Australia and New Zealand

Carillons, musical instruments in the percussion family with at least 23 cast bells and played with a keyboard, are found in Australia and New Zealand as a result of the First World War.

Poets – often exaggerating reality – wrote that the Belgian carillons were in mourning and awaited to ring out on the day of the country's liberation.

Edward Elgar composed a work for orchestra which includes motifs of bells and a spoken text anticipating the victory of the Belgian people.

[4] Following the war, countries in the Anglosphere built their own carillons to memorialise the lives lost and to promote world peace,[2] including two in Australia and one in New Zealand.

[9] The carillons were primarily constructed in the interwar period by the English bellfounders John Taylor & Co, Gillett & Johnston, and Whitechapel.
