SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia on Tuesday mourned the 10 people who were killed when a chartered bus carrying wedding guests rolled over at a roundabout, the country's worst bus accident in three decades.

Residents placed flowers near the crash site and gathered for a candlelight vigil at a church in the rural Hunter region in New South Wales (NSW) state, where the accident happened. A light show illuminating Sydney's harbour bridge and opera house was switched off for a minute on Monday in honour of the victims.
