Improve your health and inner beauty with a visit to Bali

When you visit Bali, the ultimate spa destination as voted internationally by many magazines, you will not just feel the pampering hands of your masseuse but also you will feel the benefits to your body. A massage is extremely beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed they block oxygen and nutrients leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A massage will help loosen this tissue, release toxins and get blood and oxygen circulating properly.

Balinese massage uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and ‘qi’ (energy) around your body, and bring deep relaxation and wellness. Balinese massage is related to the Ayurveda, the Indian holistic medical system. A relaxation massage with attitude, this treatment will boost your circulation and also give you a deep tissue and muscular massage.

Bondi Rescue boys go back to the basics in Bali

SOAKING up the sun on Bali’s Kuta beach sounds blissful but for Bondi Beach lifeguards on a cultural exchange in Indonesia it has proved an unpredictable exercise that has left them exhausted.

A handful of the larrikin boys in blue, made famous through Logie-winning observational series Bondi Rescue, have been put through their paces battling wild surf and unfamiliar conditions while filming Bondi Rescue: Bali, to screen on Channel 10 later this year.

For lifeguards Ryan “Whippet” Clarke and Tom Bunting, a gruelling ocean rescue to save a French woman and her two sons was the toughest challenge of their careers.

“It’s one of the most intense rescues I have done,” former Home and Away star Clarke, 24, said.

Bunting, 27, said, without the luxury of Jetskis and paddle boards, the visit had forced them to rely on the fundamentals of ocean rescue.

Kuta beach has suffered nine deaths so far this year, with an average of 20 to 30 deaths per year.

It’s a huge death toll considering Bondi has one fatality a year.
