"Australians planning to visit Bali to attend the commemorative services should note that the government continues to recommend that Australians reconsider their need to travel to Indonesia, including Bali, due to the very high threat of terrorist attack," the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in the advisory.

"We continue to receive credible information that terrorists could be planning attacks in Indonesia which could take place at any time," it said.
