Lost lives: the 10 people who were killed in the horror wedding bus crash at Greta

Newcastle Herald has confirmed the people lost in the devastating incident were couple Andrew and Lynan Scott from Singleton, who leave behind two young children.

Zachary Bray from Byron Bay, Angus Craig from Queensland and Darcy Bulman were among the deceased.

Tori Cowburn and Rebecca Mullen, both from Singleton, were also killed in the crash. Nadene and Kyah McBride, a Singleton mother and daughter were among the victims, as well as Kane Symons.

Many of the people lost in the tragedy were members of the Singleton Roosters AFL Club.

Former club president Nadene McBride was one of the players in the Roosters' inaugural women's team which participated in the 2016 GE BDAFL competition. She was a forceful presence in the rebuilding of the club.

Described as an "inspirational coach" Nadene was recently featured in a video profile by Ladbrokes, where she talks about taking the Singleton Roosterettes "from the competition easybeats to premiership winners and creating a sense of family in the process".

Andrew and Lynan Scott have been involved with the Singleton community since the end of 2014 when Lynan - a mining engineer - was offered a two-year graduate engineering position at Mt Thorley and the couple moved to the area.

Andrew was known as 'Mr Reliable' on the field and went on to become a playing coach, being selected multiple times in the AFL Hunter Central Coast 35-man representative squad.

Kane Symons has been remembered by his family as "a great bloke".

Carlton Park Surf Life Saving Club president Christine Gaby released this statement following news of his death.

"[We] are heart broken to hear of the tragic passing of Kane Symons in the Hunter Valley bus tragedy. We send our love and support to Steve, Sarn and Jaimie. Kane, otherwise known as "Superman" was an amazing athlete who competed at the highest level. But more than that he was a leader, a great bloke and a mate to many. We adored him and he will be truly missed."

The New England Nomads UNE Australian Football Club have remembered Singleton woman Rebecca Mullen for dedication to the club and her community.

"We are extremely saddened by the tragic news that one of our former players Bec Mullen died in the bus crash in the Hunter on Sunday. Bec was an extremely active member of the club, a wonderfully talented sportswoman and a friend to all who knew her. We offer our sincere condolences to her friends and family."

Rebecca was a junior medical officer in the Hunter New England Local Health District. Susan Heyman, acting chief executive said "our hearts go out to the family, friends and colleagues of Dr Rebecca Mullen."

"Rebecca has been a highly valued member of our team for just over 12 months, having worked most recently at Calvary Mater Newcastle. To have one of our own unaccounted for in these circumstances is a tragedy that is felt by us all.

"Our priority right now is providing support to Rebecca's family and colleagues at this incredibly difficult time."

She was also remembered in a statement from Hunter Valley Grammar School.

"The HVGS community is mourning the loss of our talented alumni, Rebecca Mullen, who died in the tragic bus accident in the Hunter Valley last weekend.

"Rebecca was the HVGS School Captain in 2015 and a talented sportswoman and scholar. She is remembered for her kindness, warmth, and compassionate leadership.

"Rebecca was known as a beautiful soul who brought joy to those around her. Our hearts go out to the Mullen family as they mourn their child and sister, and all members of our community who have been impacted by this horrific tragedy."

Police have formally charged the bus driver involved in Sunday night's crash near the Hunter Expressway which stands as one of the region's worst ever.

Mitchell Gaffney and Madeleine Edsell have been named as the couple who tied the knot at Wandin Estate on Sunday before the night took a tragic turn and one of the buses transporting guests from the wedding crashed, killing 10 people.

The newlyweds are part of the Singleton Roosters AFL Club and many members from the sporting community were in attendance at the wedding.
