Oh--then I'll track down an obituary and fix the Wikipedia entry. Yale has a nice page about her: beinecke.library.yale.edu/cvvpw/gallery/osato1.html

Very nice - I'm sorry - I was thinking about the dancer Pearl Lang who died in 2009. You are correct - she is still alive.

This photo was not taken in Australia, it was actually taken in New Zealand. The second carriage is called a "birdcage" with its distinctive outdoor corridor. These were (I think) unique to the New Zealand Railways.
