Bali

Aussie travellers are on alert after a Balinese volcano erupted overnight sending a 2km plume of ash into the sky.

Looking for a dose of Bali minus the crowds? It’s time to put this spot on your radar with unspoilt beaches, crystal-clear seas and fewer crowds.

There are strict rules in Bali that we don’t have in Australia, which can catch us out when visiting our favourite home away from home.

Bali is an island steeped in tradition and unique customs. So if you want to be a thoughtful tourist, these are the rules you need to follow.

Whether it’s a serene getaway you’re after or you want to be in the thick of the action, these are the spots in Bali you need to consider.

Last year Bali gave us plenty of excuses to go somewhere else for a holiday. But hardly any of us listened.
