Passenger carriage at railway station, late Victorian or Edwardian period, unidentified location
The passenger carriage does not appear to match any NSWGR classes (conclusion based on a comparison with all available NSWGR diagrams). Some NSW carriages are very similar, but lack the downward curve in the roof extension over the end platform. The scene is therefore probably from another state. Victoria and South Australia are likely candidates.
The period is probably Edwardian, because the women's clothing has a generally Victorian era look but bustles are apparently out of fashion.
