Bali residents living next to a smoldering volcano are being urged to evacuate as soon as possible, amid warnings from emergency agencies of another larger eruption.

Almost 30,000 people have already left the area around Mount Agung since it began erupting on Saturday, spewing clouds of ash reaching as high as 9,100 meters (at least 5.6 miles).
Indonesia's National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB) said on social media up to 100,000 locals living in the danger zone needed to evacuate urgently but rescuers were facing resistance.

Good to hear! Hopefully this doesn't drag on too long. The disruption to the economy could be worse than any physical damage.

for sure, 10's of 1000's of Aussies visit Bali every year, since it is so close ...
personally I have no urge to go there, tho the volcano observing would get me interested
