Bali Nine inmates Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have arrived at Nusakambangan island, where they will eventually face execution.
The Bali Nine duo have arrived Nusakambangan Island, joining the 2000 other prisoners that reside there.
The Indonesian Attorney General has said a date is still not set for the execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.
Meanwhile, the families of the two prisoners have arrived at Sydney airport to fly to Bali where they will farewell their beloved family members.
Earlier this morning, Chan and Sukumaran were moved from Kerobokan prison to the airport to be transferred to Cilacap.
The pair were handcuffed when they boarded the plane, and a fighter jet escorted the aircraft to Cilacap airport, Fairfax Media reports.
The Daily Mail reports the pair were calm throughout the transfer, saying thank you to prison guards upon hearing the news.
Chan and Sukumaran will be placed on a charter flight to Cilacap — the closest town to Nusakambangan Island prison.
The Australians will be given 72 hours notice before they are due to face the firing squad on the island.

I find the voyeurism regarding this situation, quite appalling. I think it is important news, but the details are not necessary. What is the next thing, streaming a live video of their execution? I think broadcasting all the information about the lead-up to the execution and how it all happens is quite sick and very representative of our sensationalist society. Anything for a click or more ratings.
Not true Summer! The more people who become aware, and sickened by, this barbaric practice the better. Many Indonesians never gave a thought to the death penalty until this became world wide news. Now, hopefully, they will push for it's abolition. It's not sensationalism or voyeurism, it's telling it like it is.
I cannot agree more. It's macabre to have every detail fed to us. And it absolutely does point to the sensationalist media we have trying to manipulate so many aspects of our lives, our thoughts and our attitudes.
Whether you agree with the death penalty or not, we must remember that these men are criminals. If they hadn't been caught they would have made a tidy profit, and they probably would have done it again. Lives would have been lost as a result of the drugs they were carrying. They are not heroes. They are criminals. Don't let the sensationalism of the media convince you they are victims.
