Bodhi Risby-Jones, 23, from Noosa, is living in a three-metre-by-three-metre cell on a small island off the coast of Sumatra.
An alleged victim, local fisherman Edi Ron, needed 50 stitches after Risby-Jones is accused of throwing a motorcycle on him.
Risby-Jones has said he is “extremely remorseful” after the alleged rampage.
It prompted residents to threaten to burn down the Moon Beach Resort where the Australian tourist was staying on the surfing island.
While Risby-Jones awaits news on his punishment and court appearance, the local village chief says the resort needs to make amends.

The resort is being asked to slaughter a goat, which is part of traditional practices in the conservative province of Aceh.
Public canings are a regular punishment in the province, meaning the 23-year-old could be lashed up to 40 times, as well as face five years in prison if convicted.
The province enforces Sharia law, meaning the sale and consumption of alcohol is banned.
Police chief Jatmiko said last week the Queenslander would not be deported.
