This is an unofficial photo of the group at the 2010 reunion. The photo was taken by Frank Campbell's partner Holly Belisle. They came all the way from Long Beach California for the reunion.
Ten years later, I've now scanned the 'official' photo, as I assume it no longer has any commercial value. Click/tap on the image for the fullsize photo.

Sadly, there will be no reunion in 2020 because of an irrational fear of the COVID-19 pandemic, although the state of Western Australia has had no community transmission of the virus, as at November, for about six months.
