About 40 Australians will attend a ceremony in Bali this morning to commemorate the first anniversary of the second Bali bombings which killed four Australians last October.
Sixteen other people also lost their lives in those attacks and another 17 Australians were injured in the bombings.
Almost 60 per cent fewer Australians have travelled to Bali between January and July this year compared with the same period last year.
Total foreign tourist arrivals for the island are down by a fifth but it is the Australians who are really staying away.
On this day a year ago, three suicide bombers following minute by minute plans, walked into three Bali restaurants and blew themselves up.
Apart from the bombers, 20 people lost their lives and four of them were Australians.
Faishal Hambali was among those who almost died from shrapnel wounds but says he survived to pass on this message:
"I am now fully recovered, after so many holes and so many schrapnels in my body, so it proves that we win, they cannot beat us," he said.
Mr Hambali agreed that Australians staying away from Bali let the terrorists win.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer has paid tribute to those killed in last year's terrorist bombings in Bali.
A memorial service is being held in Bali today, while a second service will be held on October 12 to remember those killed in the 2002 bombings, including 88 Australians.
Mr Downer has again condemned the attacks and says his thoughts are with the families and friends of those who lost loved ones.
