can any Australians help?

[hillbillywillie]

I'd like to make contact with my grannys family who emigrated to Australia in the twenties I think.
The son was born on the SS Runic during the trip and was named Runic-Runic Reid was his name.
He apparently had six fingers, and was a concert pianist!
They lived in the house on the hill that you can see in the programme "Skippy".

Any help from you Aussie guys would be greatly appreciated.
