Now that you are discussing something foreign, when I looked at the picture with only a couple of replies last night, I imagined the 'badge' on the hat looked rather kiwi-shaped  Undecided .... I have no idea if it represents what our young ladies wore though.

I think the gloves are possibly leather with some sort of knitted cuff ?   The hand part of the gloves is very stiff, can't be wool !

The fencing is certainly interesting ... looks like rattan or split bamboo; even the open gate is the same material ... which I'm sure makes it not English ...

I think the gloves are leather with wool liners.

The fencing would suggest somewhere warm or hot; the uniform and thick gloves goes against that ...

The power pole looks far to thin to be whitewashed wood, I agree aluminium or steel .
The insulator cross arm configuration does not look English. I wouldnt expect so many power carrying  wires on an English set up as it also appears to be the end of a line by the Guy Wires to left.
