A 30-year-old Melbourne woman is being remembered as a bright, happy classmate and capable young professional, as her Warrandyte community deals with overwhelming grief from the horror bus crash in the Hunter Valley.
Darcy Bulman was one of 10 people that police said are still unaccounted for following Sunday night’s accident in the NSW wine region.
A young Melbourne woman with the world at her feet is one of 10 passengers killed in the devastating bus crash in the NSW Hunter region.
Bulman had worked as an investigator with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s Collins Street office in Melbourne since late 2020. A spokesman for ASIC said special counselling arrangements would be organised for her close colleagues.
Earlier, Bulman was pictured smiling in an Instagram photo uploaded by her partner Nick Dinakis, who joined Bulman at Madeleine Edsell and Mitchell Gaffney’s wedding on Sunday.
Both Bulman and Dinakis, a real estate agent, were among 35 bus passengers who rode the ill-fated bus from Wandin Estate winery in Lovedale. Dinakis is not one of the 10 people unaccounted for but his condition is unknown.
Bulman, a La Trobe University graduate, worked at consulting firm KPMG for four years before joining ASIC.
“This is truly tragic news. Darcy was a very capable professional and a wonderful colleague in our Forensic team. When she moved to ASIC, Darcy continued to build a successful career. Our thoughts are with Darcy’s family and friends at this very difficult time,” a KPMG spokesperson said.
Bulman is believed to have travelled to the wedding from Victoria with eight current and former members of the Warrandyte Cricket Club, as well as five of their respective partners.
Tributes were posted online from former classmates at Warrandyte High School where Bulman went to school. “I remember Darcy as a bright, happy, student at WHS, such a loss,” wrote one person on Facebook.
In a KPMG graduate profile posted on YouTube in 2017, Bulman described herself as a “bit of a joker” who liked to have fun with her friends. Bulman explained she had done overseas exchange during university before landing at KPMG to do forensic accounting.
“I’m laid back, but at the same time, I’m driven and I want to see what I can do,” she said in the video.
Premier Daniel Andrews said the state government would support Victorian families affected by the tragedy, describing it as “absolutely heartbreaking”.
“We send our love and support and prayers and best wishes to everybody caught up in this,” he said.
“If there is anything that we can do to support those families from our state who are caught up in this, of course we stand ready to do that.”
