United States president Barack Obama has announced he will make a long-awaited trip to Indonesia in November, but Australia is again off the itinerary.

Mr Obama has called off two previous plans to visit Indonesia and Australia, first to concentrate on passing his health care reform bill, and then over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

The president will now go to Indonesia as part of a trip that will also take him to South Korea for a G20 meeting and to Tokyo for the APEC summit.

The American ambassador in Australia has given assurances that Mr Obama will eventually visit Australia.
