I don't much about Australia but if this had been a picture taken in the US I would date it 1897-1902. The woman's hat is almost exactly like one I have in a book on hats that shows an advertisement dated 1899. The dress is like many dresses of that period.

Hi Laressa thanks for your reply, that has helped. I wonder how much the hat would have cost>
