Families are mourning the victims of one of Australia's worst bus crashes in decades, after a coach crashed in New South Wales' Hunter Valley on Sunday night.
The coach, carrying 36 people, was returning guests from a wedding reception at Wandin Estate Winery in Lovedale to Singleton when it overturned at around 11.30pm.
Guests had travelled from Melbourne, Queensland, Byron Bay and Sydney to attend the wedding of Mitchell Gaffney and Madeleine Edsel, a couple who were highly involved with the local AFL club the Singleton Roosters.
So far, 10 people have been confirmed dead in the crash, with a junior doctor, a husband and wife, and a mother and daughter named among the victims.
Singleton Mayor Sue Moore said her close-knit community is struggling to come to terms with the extent of the loss.
A vigil was held at the Singleton Baptist Church on Tuesday evening, with members coming together to mourn and show their support.
