Subject: Bright comet in the mid 1930's

Having always had an interest in astronomy I was watching the sky in 
my youth and detected a comet - high in the sky. This was by naked 
eye as I had no access to a telescope or binoculars. It had a distinct 
head and a clear tail and was visible night after night for some time. 
This was in Sydney, Australia. As near as I can reconstruct the year 
it was in the mid 1930's when I was 14 or 15 years old. My question 
is, what was the name of the comet and what details are there about 
it?
