Okay, yes.
Glen Innes, I saw that too in 1930 Electoral Roll and it is the same one in Scone.
Alice Leticia Russell and Arthur Thomas Russell Wentworth Street, Glen Innes NSW postal assistant and
in 1936 (Scone district) they are at Murrurundi NSW and he is now a labourer (same names).
Glen Innes is north from Murrurundi, about 3 and a half hours drive.

The marriage certificate would confirm his parents and how long in Australia or if born here, but it may not even be him.  Perhaps try one of the English certificates first.  But great idea about the look up!

There is an Arthur T Russell born in Tenterfield in 1909, only an hour from Glenn Innes, which would be the bigger town, so perhaps this is him.  Son of Alexander and Rosetta.

Arthur was born in London in 1894.

I think the Arthur b. 1909 in Tenterfield is probably the one who married Alice Leticia Peel.

Alice L Peel born 1909 in Glen Innes.  Same age anyway as the Arthur T b.1909.  I am pretty sure it's him, so possibly can eliminate from your search.
