When are you actually going? Too bad the fucks are getting executed in November, when schoolies pretty much starts.

The advice we are giving at the National Schoolies Website is that you should skip Bali this year.

If you are celebrating schoolies overseas regardless of the destination, make sure you register with smartraveller, so if anything goes wrong they know how to contact all the Aussies and where they are staying.

me and 6 friends are still going, we just changed it so we're going to lombok and the gili islands instead of seminyak in bali.

im so sick of this media hype freaking everyone out. the threats have been there for 6+ years and if you're smart enough you'll know to just stay away from the main clubs in kuta etc and just be sensible.

im also sick of the media/adults stereotyping all schoolies travellers, i heard on abc radio today, quote "all they want to do is get drunk and party, they cant look after themselves." that's complete bullshit. i'm going for a holiday and to experience the culture, and my parents know i'm smart enough to look after myself.

Ha ha... I'll pay that. Just trying to get in touch with schoolies and clarify our position as there is some confusion over the dfat advice.

Your a uni student so you aren't going anyway right?

nono, i'm not a toolie. i did schoolies, so i leave it to the younguns now. I just don't think that travelling to Indonesia is the smartest idea in the best of times, let alone now.
