A boat carrying 16 people has capsized in rough waters off Indonesia’s resort island Bali, killing an Australian woman and injuring at least one other person, authorities said Saturday.

The Sea Dragon 2 boat was travelling to Nusa Penida, a popular island near Bali, on Friday morning when it was hit by large waves, the island’s police chief Ida Bagus Putra Sumerta told AFP.

The passengers, which included 11 Australian tourists, were rescued by a nearby boat.

At least two people were rushed to hospital, with one tourist pronounced dead, Ida said. Another was treated for a burn injury.

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement that at least two Australians were injured and that it was providing consular services to the family of another who was reported dead.
