The remains of nine Australian victims of the Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash in Ukraine have been taken to a Melbourne morgue.
Nine hearses drove from Melbourne Airport to the morgue at Southbank.
The Coroner's office said not all of the bodies were Victorians.
The office said the families of the victims had been notified, but would not be attending the morgue for their arrival.
The nine victims were among 298 passengers and crew killed when MH17 was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine on July 17.
Twenty-seven passengers were carrying Australian passports, while another 11 were Australian residents travelling on foreign passports.
This week the Dutch Safety Board (OVV) released a report saying MH17 broke apart over Ukraine due to the impact from a large number of fragments.
The OVV report stated the plane broke up probably as a result of structural damage caused by "a large number of high energy objects that penetrated the aircraft from the outside".
Kiev and the West have accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting down the plane with a surface-to-air missile supplied by Moscow, but the report does not mention a missile attack or apportion blame.
Russia has blamed Ukraine government forces for the attack.
Upon the release of the report, pro-Russian rebels in east Ukraine denied they had the capability to shoot down the plane.
