AUSSIE TOURISTS LOSE EVERYTHING AFTER MASSIVE FIRE IN BALI
Australian tourists have reported losing all of their belongings after a major fire destroyed 16 villas in a Bali resort.
The huge and destructive blaze was reported at around 10.30 on Thursday night in Seminyak, an area which is very popular with Aussies.
Western Australian man Bailey was staying in one of the villas and told Perth radio station 6PR he and his friends have lost nearly everything.
'We were out for dinner and on our way back we could see flames in the distance. As we were getting close we realised our villa was on fire,' he said on Friday.
'I lost everything apart from my passport and cash, most of us did. A couple of them lost passports and a couple have (lost) everything.'
Bailey said he and his mates are going to go to the Australian consulate to try to 'get some new passports ...
'And then we're going to have to find some new accommodation somewhere.'
He said that reports of people stealing items from the compound as the fire raged were probably not true.
'They were wheeling safes and mattresses out of the place. I don't know that they were being stolen.
'They were just being taken out of there so that nothing got damaged,' he told Millsy and Karl on 6PR.
