Garuda victims remembered one year on
A private ceremony will be held in Jakarta today to mark the first anniversary of the Garuda plane crash in Jogjakarta.
Twelve months ago today, Garuda Flight 200 left Jakarta for Jogjakarta, where an attempt to land too fast caused the jet to crash and burst into flames.
Five Australians were among the 21 people killed.
They were two Australian Federal Police officers, Mark Scott and Brice Steele, AusAid's Indonesia head, Alison Sudrajat and the spokeswoman for Australia's Jakarta embassy, Liz O'Neill.
The Australian Financial Review's Jakarta correspondent Morgan Mellish was also killed.
They will be remembered in a private ceremony at the Australian embassy in Jakarta this morning.
