Yes, Brenda's parents married in Qld, then moved to NSW.  I have copies of all the Qld certificates.

Norman HANSON, n o k his wife Bona, enlisted in AIF 27 June 1916, at age 42 years, 10 months.  His occupation Traveller.

His 61 pages of AIF service records are free to search at the NAA's online website.  The address of his eldest daughter is also on the first enlistment page 16 or thereabouts, giving her address as C/- Guardian, Mrs F L Kennedy, 17 Curtis Road, Balmain.

Edit to add, family member wrote letter in 1955 which is on that file and also there's the pension payments for his widow and his children (all their names) from 24 Dec 1917.  The Memorial Scroll and Memorial Plaque were not available until late 1921 and mid 1922, so they were received by his eldest daughter. 

LEST WE FORGET

Yes, this is Brenda's father, Norman Victor HANSON.  He died of wounds received in action in Belgium in 1917.  The AIF service record shows him to be a little bit of a rogue (similar to his civilian life) but I like to think of him as a loveable rogue who always tried to do the best for his family.

Perhaps I am speculating but ...

16 Curtis St/Rd, Balmain on the 1913 ER may well have been a boarding house.  If Brenda spent her youth at the Kennedy's at 17 Curtis St/Rd, (as per the note on the AIF files for where the Scoll and Plaque were to be sent to his n o k at her Guardian's) then perhaps various of the apparent then Boarders/lodgers at "16 Curtis" may have spun the young impressionable Brenda some tales to distract her.

Some surnames and some occupations for 16 Curtis St/Rd from the Balmain ER of 1913 ie years before Brenda was orphaned..
Appleby; Christian; Gibson; Hagan; Hull;  (and that's only the early part of the alphabet, did not look further) and joiners; labourers;  domestic duties; several dressmakers;

I am curious to know who the N Hanson that wrote to CARO in 1955 from Moonee Ponds, VIC asking for information about the parents?

On the pension allotments of 1917 I can only see three daughters.

How many children did they have? The one that wrote the letter is obviously a son.

Also, 

NAA has another file that has not yet been digitised for Norman Victor HANSON.  It is specific to the year 1920, a critical year for young Brenda.

"Re No 6317 Pte Norman Victor Hanson 18th Batt - Application for authority to continue payment of living allowance "


The Barcode for that file would be 4776500
