I found those two on the 1936 electoral rolls living in Booval. James is a draughtsman and Archd is a Clerk. There is a John also in Booval, who is a printer. (Booval and Wynnum are some distance apart - Booval is Ipswich west of Brisbane and Wynnum is east of Brisbane on the bay - I wonder if John retired to the seaside?  )

Also found these immigrating to Brisbane:
John Headrige [sic] 25
Janet (Mrs) Headrige 29
Jane Headrige 3
arriving in Brisbane on the Wakool 24 Dec 1903

Also Archd Headridge age 25 arriving on the Kaikoura 24 Sept 1911 - wonder if he's a rellie?

angusg,
If you haven't already done so, you can search google maps for the Wynnum street address - houses are numbered and I shouldn't imagine those numbers would have changed since the 60's, so you can see where he lived. Quite suburban but nor far from the water. 

Good find Kris. Lots of Greenhills ...

I wonder about this marriage too.

1921/C3320. Router Edwin Falland married Headridge, Jean Gordon.
now I have been tricked often by the replacing of Jean with Jane and vice-versa.  Is she the Jane of the immigration/
