Lipah, Bingin and Seminyak: 3 drowned Aussies
August 7th, 2006
Watersports proved dangerous last week as 3 Australians lost their lives. Jeffrey Joseph Rigby, 48, from Perth, drowned on Seminyak beach surfing. Balinese locals held a ceremony on the beach to cleanse it of evil spirits. Saturday saw Jeffrey Joseph Rigby, 30, from Melbourne, dissappear while surfing at Bingin (strange as the take off spot is small).
Earlier this week Iona Margaret Thompson, 84, from Adelaide died while snorkeling in Lipah, a tiny coastal village south of Amed. Mrs Thompson was close to shore with her husband. The cause of death has yet to be determined.
Sorry to hear of their misfortune, and I hope no one else suffers a life-ending accident, while on holiday in Bali.
