not real accurate, that one.  Martin was in fact the last to join the 
band.  started with Rob, Jim and Bear, who were later joined by Pete and 
known as "Farm".  Martin joined in 1976-ish, and that was when they became 
"Midnight Oil".  (a name Rob once described as having "a life expectancy of 
about a week")

you can see a review of Farm at

good eyesight to read it!), including a picture of Peter Garrett with 
shoulder length hair!
