Two Australians were among dozens killed in a horror high-speed train crash in central Spain last week, authorities have confirmed.
More than 500 people were on board a high-speed train when it hit another that was stopped on the tracks in the province of Toledo, near the capital of Madrid on October 28.
The crash killed 69 people, and almost 200 others were injured.
The High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha confirmed overnight that all victims have since been identified, including 40 men and 29 women.
Among the dead were 54 Spanish citizens and 15 foreign nationals, including two Australians.
'All 69 identifications have now been notified to the victims' families and to the relevant consular offices for foreign nationals,' the authority said.
Many of the victims' bodies have already been released to their families.
The Daily Mail has contacted Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for comment.

DFAT had confirmed two days after the tragedy that it was providing consular assistance to the family of two Australians in relation to the crash.
'Australian officials are working with local authorities to confirm the welfare of the Australians,' a spokesperson said.
'Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment,' a spokesperson said.
Also among the foreign nationals killed were four Americans, two people from Japan and one passenger each from France, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Portugal, Tunisia and the Czech Republic.
Transport Minister Oscar Puente said the crash appeared to have been caused by what he termed an 'inexplicable' order from a central command centre for Spain's trains after a security system failed.
The crash in the province of Toledo came just nine months after another collision farther south on the same Madrid-Seville line killed 46 people.
The collisions have raised fresh concerns about the Spanish rail network, which had long been praised for its speed and safety.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has pledged an investigation and improvements to restore trust in the system that carried 45 million travellers last year.
The crash happened one month before the November 29 general election in which Sánchez is seeking to extend his eight-year premiership.
He now faces questions about railway safety and his government's investment in Spanish infrastructure.
