Foreign officials in Indonesia are supporting the families of a man killed on the NSW central coast and a woman injured in a scooter crash in Bali.
Bryce Alexander Black, 33, was killed in the accident in North Kuta district on December 28.
His passenger and companion, Samantha Baillie, also aged 33, was seriously injured.

The ABC obtained the incident report from Badung police, giving a timeline before the scooter, driven by the two Australians, crashed head-on into a car.
The report said the incident occurred at 4:30 a.m. local time on a “straight two-lane asphalt county road.”
“[There was] a clear view, [it was] clear weather, early morning,” the report said.
“The driver of the Yamaha Nmax overtook the vehicle in front, turning right across the roadway without noticing the driver of the Honda Mobilio… traveling in the opposite direction/in his lane, resulting in a collision/accident.”

The report says Mr Black was riding the Yamaha scooter and suffered “severe head trauma” and died at the scene.
The report said Ms Baillie suffered abrasions to her face, bleeding from her ear and was taken to BIMC Sunset Road Hospital.
Neither Mr Black nor Ms Baillie had travel insurance.
An online fundraising page has since been set up, raising more than $50,000 for Ms Baillie’s medical care.
The family seeks to bring Mrs Baillie home.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a statement saying officials were offering their support.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the families of a deceased Australian and an injured Australian in Bali,” the statement said.
“We send our deepest condolences to the families at this difficult time.”
