The Bali Bombings - Aussie Therese Fox’s incredible survival story

The Bali Bombings - Aussie Therese Fox’s incredible survival story

Our guests for this episode are Therese Fox and Megan Norris.


In 2002 friends Therese Fox and Bronwyn Cartwright travelled to Bali – it was a dream trip that the two Geelong nurses had saved hard for. It was Therese’s first trip overseas and away from her young children.


On October 12th Therese and Bronwyn decided to go out to Paddy’s Irish Bar for their last night in Bali.


Deadly terrorist attacks on Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club in Kuta’s party precinct killed 202 people - 88 from Australia including Bronwyn. Therese was critically injured with third-degree burns to 85 per cent of her body.


Therese is intensely private but years after the horror of the bombings and her slow, painful road to recovery, she felt that it was important to have her story on record - for her family, to honour Bronwyn and to acknowledge the people whose lives intersected with hers in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.


Therese turned to crime journalist and author Megan Norris, who you’ll know from previous episodes of Australian True Crime, to put her remarkable story into words… And you can read it in the book Out of The Ashes: The mother’s love that healed the scars of the Bali bombings.
