You might like this photo from Freda Brown's ASIO file... It was a send-off event for delegates going to a Youth Congress meeting in Warsaw on a ship called "Neptunia". Photo taken at a dock - perhaps Walsh Bay or Darling Harbour.  (Chris Maltby, 8th October, 2025)

ASIO had been keeping an eye on the Bush Music Club & other subversives for a long time, but they got it wrong again - 

3 - Harry Kay on mouthorgan,  4 - Jack Barrie on bush bass, 5 -  John Meredith on accordion, 6 - Alan Scott on whistle & the tall guitarist is Chris Kempster with Alex Hood?on lagerphone. 

Is the man with dark hair carrying an instrument? 

Cecil Grivas played lagerphone & Alex played bones 

More research is needed
