From the small shrubs and tree plantings, this photo must be near the time the hospital was built.

"The layout of the grounds was commenced by Dr Chisolm Ross in 1895, but the great variety of trees and shrub found in them is due to the personal efforts of the forth medical supt Dr Moffitt. He obtained specimens all over the world at his own expense. The willows on the banks of the Wollindilly River pre-date the hospital period and have been struck from a cutting of the willow which shaded napoleons grave on St Helena."
From the-riotact.com/a-brief-lesson-in-almost-local-history-ke... by 'danman', who also has a great set of Kenmore Hospital photos here on Flickr - www.flickr.com/photos/danman_cc/sets/72157617333069701/

So date ca. 1900?

beachcomber australia According to the NSW Heriatge Resgiter, Kenmore was built between 1894-1900. This and your notes re the planting make a pretty good case for this image being 1900 or the early 1900's.
