  This might be a little earlier than "c. 1950". There is a car with a banner saying "National Road Safety Week" (see note). Amazingly, Trove results narrows this down to October 1936 - trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/newspapers?keyword=%22Na... At 09:01 by the clock! (see note)

  Via Trove, a 1933 article about Thomas Playfair Ltd., (see note on the van) - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/161582593

  What a great photo.

  Definitely 1936. One can see the new Members' Pavilion under construction at the SCG. It was renamed the Noble Stand in 1947. It was demolished in 2012 to make way for the new combined M A Noble/Bradman/Dally Messenger stand.

  Here's British Pathe footage of this aircraft, ANA's Douglas DC-2 "Bungana" (VH-USY; c/n 1580), featured in a newsreel about its safe emergency landing near Dimboola, Victoria on February 8, 1940, after it struck an eagle which in turn caused its port engine to catch fire and fall off while in flight.

  Here is a photo (Signal Corps Photo SC 166664) of VH-USY taken by the US Army Signal Corps at Port Moresby, New Guinea, on December 15, 1942, when the aircraft was used to transport wounded soldiers.
