The 88 Australians killed in the Bali bombings 20 years ago have been remembered in a ceremony at Coogee. 

Suicide bombers detonated explosives, ripping apart the popular Sari Club and Paddy’s bar in Kuta, killing 202 people.

Australia suffered the highest death toll of any country, and it was the largest number of Australians killed in a terrorist attack.

Of the Australians killed, six were members of the Coogee Dolphins rugby league club.

Coogee Dolphins President Paul Vanni told Jim Wilson Drive it’s an incredibly difficult day,

“It’s still very raw, but a gathering like today we can all get together and share that pain.”

2GB listener Nicky, who lost her cousin from the Coogee Dolphins league club, told Jim the day is still clear in her memory.

“I remember Dad waking us up early in the morning telling us the news, we didn’t think anything like that could ever happen to our family.

“The impact it has even 20 years later is hard to get over.”

Earlier in the day, Nine Radio senior reporter Clinton Maynard told Ray Hadley the commemorative service will feature speeches from those personally impacted by the attack.

“We will hear from the victims’ families and survivors, and 88 white doves will be released to remember each Australian who passed away.”
