This house looks like a classic Australian 19th century suburban house to me.
Looking really closely at the bridal bouquets, I convinced myself I could see gum leaves, but I may just be hallucinating...
The only online refs I could find were:
http://www.aif.adfa.edu.au:8080/showUnit?unitCode=ART.FAB1B3
LOWTHER, Robert Zetland House, Portman Street, Zetland, New South Wales
The address of a fellow who served in the forces in WW1.
I did a google walk down Portman Street, but didn't see the house. The neighbourhood's changed quite a bit though.
Also, this newspaper advertisement in Adelaide in 1903:
To Let on Lease, "Zetland House," containing 13 rooms; situated opp. Adelaide University, specially suitable doctor, dentist, ..or professional ma,n.-rB. M. Saunders. Pirie-st. 196-8
http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4974286?searchTerm=((Ford,%2520Andrew.%2520(1957-)))%2520NOT%2520(id:653ba6b7-d1b3-4b41-9a14-df55462ddebb)
Not much help, I'm afraid...

Not much help from MOI either, BUT .....
I am fairly sure that the photo is typical of Australian wedding photos for the period late 1890's early 1900's .... The photo seems to be taken at the front entrance to the house.... Many homes in at least Sydney had names eg "Waratah House", "Kia Ora House" etc...
Cheers,
JM

Is there a Darby who's a dentist in your family?
Several years later (Saturday 5 June 1915), it looks from the Adelaide paper that Zetland House, 70 North Terrace, Adelaide, has been rented by a dentist, a McGrath, who is advertising his services in the paper. http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5470411
On the same page, same column, 5th near the bottom, is another dentist:
L M. DARBY, Dentist,. 99, KING WILLIAM STREET
Could just be bizarre coincidence, but thought I'd let you know.
Adelaide University has grown, and a look via Google Street View shows that there is no longer a house at 70 North Terrace.

Bit More,
If you were to start a new thread on the Aussie Boards, I'm sure there's many RChatters who will be able to help...
Cheers,
JM
