Hi Paul,
You need to search here when you are looking for a catalogue entry on RecordSearch http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx (Search the Collection)
If you search for Walter HANCOCK, this is one of the results:
http://dhistory.org/archives/naa/items/4542327/
This person's DOB matches Wally's stats. He married Amy TOWNER in 1926 in Sydney.
Quite a lot on TROVE:
