Hi Deb, you brought back memories for me. I come from Urunga, a little way north of Nambucca Heads and know it reasonably well. What was your grandmother's christian name? My Dad talks of Buckmans. There was family of Buckmans in Urunga, four boys.. Tommy, Doug, Alan and Russell, who died in New Guinea in WW2. Their father was also Tom and he'd been in WW1. Maybe they were cousins to your grandmother? Google "Nambucca Heads + movie theatres" and you will find several listings for the Nambucca Plaza theatre which seems to have been there forever. Do the same with "dance hall + Nambucca Heads" and you should have all your answers. I went to Picture Australia, URL below and found 9 pages of photos of Nambucca and people from the area. I have yet to try Google images, but I'm sure there would be some there as well. http://www.pictureaustralia.org/apps/pictureaustralia What a lovely romantic story. Thank you. My parents also had a dance hall story. My father didn't dance, but he would ride a bike to the dance hall where my mother and her sisters would be dancing, and then walk her home, wheeling his bike. Wonderful times. I hope this is of some help. I will send you off list an attachment that is a book catalogue from the Richmond Historical Society, which will give you some idea of what has been written about the area and related areas. Chris
