An Australian woman has been seriously injured after she fell 10 metres from a bridge while holidaying in Bali.
Sharyn Maree Lewis, was staying at a resort on Nusa Lembongan, a small island in Bali’s south-east, with her partner to celebrate her 59th birthday when disaster struck on Sunday morning.

‘When she almost arrived at the end of the bridge, the motorbike’s brake suddenly stopped working,’ Mr Widiono said.
‘She and the motorbike fell down around 10 metres from the bridge.’
