In Lincoln Square on the western side of [[Swanston Street]] in [[Carlton, Victoria|Carlton]], Melbourne, is a memorial representing the 88 Australians who died in the bombings, and notably the 22 from [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]].

There are 88 jets in the fountain; at night, there are lights representing all those who died. The fountain shuts off and becomes a reflecting pool on 12 October each year.

This was one of the very few fountains allowed to operate during the drought in 2007.

|quote=But what a moment this is, for not only Australia, not only for AFL football, but for the free world as well. Now, I'm not trying to overdramatize things...this shows terrorism, as I said, will never beat courage. Welcome back indeed, Jason McCartney, an inspiration to all.

After a long rehabilitation process, McCartney returned for a single AFL match: North Melbourne vs. [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at [[Docklands Stadium]] in Melbourne on 6 June 2003. He wore compression garments and protective gloves as well as the numbers "88" and "202" on his jersey, signifying the Australian and total numbers of victims, while many in the crowd held up signs saying "Bali 88/202". Other Australian victims were honored in a video shown on the stadium's video screens before the game, with the attendees including [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] players [[Steven Febey]] and [[Steven Armstrong]], who were both injured in the blast, and representatives from five [[Australian rules football]] clubs who lost players in the attacks were presented to the crowd.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Quayle |first1=Emma |title=Final act of hero's return |url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/06/06/1054700394324.html |access-date=3 November 2022 |work=The Age |date=7 June 2003}}</ref> McCartney helped North Melbourne to a narrow win before announcing his retirement at the end of the game,<ref name="North Melbourne YouTube" /> and his comeback has been cited as one of the AFL's most inspirational stories.<ref name="count">{{cite web|url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/count-to-10-and-play--20002009-20091227-lfxz.html|title=Count to 10 and play – 2000–2009|first=Martin|last=Boulton|date=27 December 2009|via=Brisbane Times}}</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2o1wss-Hk ''AFL: The Greatest'' – News Stories] YouTube (originally produced by Fox Footy)</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Twenty years at Docklands: The 20 most memorable moments and biggest stories (2020 AFL) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_AhETwWGRU |access-date=23 March 2025 |location=Docklands Stadium, Melbourne |date=8 March 2020 |type=Video |publisher=[[Australian Football League]] |via=[[YouTube]]}}</ref><ref>Australian Football League, [http://www.150years.com.au/150Moments/150MomentsArticle/tabid/11382/Default.aspx?newsId=55972# The Game That Made Australia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130419120046/http://www.150years.com.au/150Moments/150MomentsArticle/tabid/11382/Default.aspx?newsId=55972 |date=19 April 2013 }}, Retrieved 19 September 2010</ref>
