I'd guess that it is a 1937 Holden.
Well, it looks most like a 1937 Chevrolet Master Deluxe.
Distinctive shape of the grill. The little series of ridges that taper
off down the hood at the top corners of the radiator grill. Since it
is in Australia, it is probably a Holden, since they build GM vehicles
in Australia from the early 30s.
This page would seem to confirm it: http://home.znet.com/p1937/Tour.htm
It doesn't show the 4 door sedan (compare chevrolets to see the body
style) but the page above shows the distinctive design on the hood
flaps.

My first thought was also Holden, but when I Googled for images I got
the UK automobile company whose models look nothing like it.
It didn't occur to me that an Australian company would be manufacturing
US designed models rather than UK designed models. But once I knew what
to look for, I found another image of a 1937 GM-Holden:

Caption reads: 1937 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe 4-door sedan bodied by
General Motors-Holden's, Australia
Technically, I think it IS a 37 Chevy because it was marketed under the
Chevrolet brand in pre-WWII Australia.
I wonder if it's in restorable condition?
