Almost a quarter of the slain Australians were from Sydney's eastern suburbs including members of the Coogee Dolphins rugby league club.

Family and friends gathered at the memorial on Wednesday morning to remember their loved ones who died on October 12, 2002, after two bombs ripped through the tourist district of Kuta, killing 202 people.
