Australians planning to travel to Indonesia, particularly the popular holiday destination of Bali, have been advised by Smart Traveller to exercise a high degree of caution. The U.S. government has raised the travel advisory to a level 3 alert due to an increase in violent crime and murders. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade specifically warns of avoiding political rallies and protests as Indonesia approaches its presidential election next week. Smart Traveller also cautions travelers to be mindful of red flags when hailing taxis on the island.
