Increasing unrest in the East Timorese capital Dili, has led to both New Zealand and Australia sending armed forces to assist. Foreign nationals are being evacuated and tourists are advised not to travel to the area.

The Darwin to Kupang Yacht Rally is due to leave Australia in July and visit West Timor as one of its stops. For more information visit the rally website www.sailindonesia.net
