Australia is observing a day of mourning for the victims of bushfires which swept across the state of Victoria, claiming more than 200 lives. At least 209 people died as the worst bushfires in Australia's living memory on 7 February - a day that has become known as Black Saturday. Many of the 50,000 in the arena were wearing the distinctive yellow overalls of Australia's firefighters.
