Glad I could help :)

Yes, it certainly looks like Albury. I remember dodging the flag pole too so you cannot see it in my photo. It looks nicer in 1956. Very dry in 2009 with the drought!

Week 1 – Sunday 7 August  August is National Family History Month in Australia and Australian Family and Local History bloggers thought it would be a great idea to have a - Blogging Challenge!  Everyone is welcome to join in, even if you don't live in Australia, we'd love to hear from you and hear your stories. Census Night in Australia is 9 August this year and so we decided that Census stories should be our first week's theme.    The State Library of Queensland Census and Muster Records Info guide tells us that:  " prior to 2001 it was Australian federal government policy to destroy all name-identified census returns for privacy reasons, and all returns between 1901 and 2001 have been destroyed."

For the most part, when I remember movie going days I'm thinking of Canberra.

Did you buy movie programs? Um no?  Did they exist? Why was I not told?  Did you take in food and drink (and what did you like)? Yes.  I never tired of Fantales and reading all
