An Australian tourist died on Nusa Penida near Bali after falling from a steep cliff near Kelingking Beach. The woman was found on the southern side of the cliff on Saturday morning. Rescuers were dispatched, but she fell before they could reach her. Chakra Negara, coordinator of the Nusa Penida Alert unit, stated that the fall occurred around 9:00 a.m. as the tourist sought an independent route to the cliff edge, slipped, and fell into a ravine. Klungkung police representative Iptu I Dewa Nyoman Alit Purnawibawa confirmed the body was found on the beach. Evacuation by sea was canceled due to high tide, so the body was carried up narrow, steep stairs to the Kelingking Beach viewing platform in an operation lasting about 1.5 hours. A medical examination at Griya Medica clinic on Nusa Penida revealed several fractures and other injuries. Kelingking Beach is a popular tourist destination with a viewing platform on a coastal cliff approximately 180 meters high.

Bali International Oval to become Indonesia's flagship cricket venue
Cricket Indonesia is developing the Bali International Oval BIO in North Bali, a two-oval complex intended to be the country's primary venue for international cricket and high-performance training. The facility, which includes two full-sized turf ovals, is designed for year-round use. The Garuda National Cricket Academy will operate within the complex as a high-performance center, serving as a training base for Indonesian teams and hosting international teams, academies, coaches, and curators. The project aims to establish a high-performance hub for the Asia-Pacific region, integrating training, sports science, coach education, athlete recovery, and tournament operations. Cricket Indonesia hopes BIO will create an Olympic pathway for young Indonesian players and attract international cricket programs to Bali, especially with cricket's return to the Olympic Games. The development was partly inspired by the Asian Cricket Council Annual General Meeting in Bali in January 2024, where Indonesia joined the ACC.

Large whale shark found washed ashore on Pengeragoan Beach, Jembrana Regency, north of Tanah Lot Temple in Bali
A large whale shark was discovered in the shallow waters of Pengeragoan Beach, Jembrana Regency, north of Tanah Lot Temple in Bali, on Friday morning, 11 September 2026, around 8:30 am. Residents found the endangered fish, which has a large, elongated body, dark skin with white spotted patterns, and a prominent dorsal fin. Whale sharks are the largest known extant fish species, slow-moving, filter-feeding carpet sharks that consume plankton, krill, fish eggs, and small schooling fish. They are docile and pose no threat to humans. The species is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with its population estimated to have declined by over 50% in the last 75 years due to fishing bycatch and collisions with large ships. AKP I Putu Suparta, Head of the Water and Air Police Unit Satpolairud of the Jembrana Resort Police, stated on Saturday, 12 September 2026, that physical indications point to it being a whale shark, pending formal verification. High tides on Saturday morning made closer examination difficult. Police have advised residents and visitors not to touch, pull, strike, climb onto, or attempt to move the animal. Coordination with various parties, including the Indonesian Animal Network JSI, is underway to determine the animal's exact condition.
