Three years ago, after a wedding in the Hunter Valley, Sharyn and Jason Junkeer boarded a bus with 33 other guests that had been hired to take them safely home.
Within half an hour, the bus had crashed, killing 10 people and injuring 25.
Sharyn and Jason were both badly hurt and are still living with the physical and psychological fallout.
The couple, together with other survivors and those who lost family, have decided to speak out, calling for urgent changes to the bus safety system that led to this disaster.
