Hi Dennis,
They appear to be wearing 2nd Cavalry Division artillery colour patches so are most likely brigade headquarters and 44th Battery of 22nd Field Brigade, Royal Australian Artillery (Militia) at Swan Street, Richmond.
The black armbands being worn by a couple suggest it might be around the time of the death of HM King George V. I also note at least one sergeant and a gunner wearing the armband for battery signallers in accordance with Instructions for Practice - Light, Medium and Heavy Artillery 1924. They might be on annual camp 1935.
The officer with all the ribbons is most likely the CO, LTCOL E G Lister DSO VD.
Regards, Keith
