ORPHANS PICS

 Back to The Orphans Story

Along with the photos within the text of The Orphans Story, below are the only pics of The Orphans in existence.  The live shots were taken by Trena Buncle at one or more of the band's gigs at Hernando's Hideaway in 1978.  The pose shots were taken by Max's mate Hassa at Purvisonic Studios in Myaree during a break at the band's only studio recording session.  All are thumbnails, so click on a shot if you want the full, gory detail (recently recovered photos at bottom are the biggest, and include some of the best photos).
