I was shown this image when I visited the CSU Regional Archives a year
ago, had me stumped. Looks like it could a visit of a NSW Premier (IE:
Charles Wade). I have stated it in the comments section of the page.

Quoting from that site:
/This photograph comes to you from Charles Sturt University Regional
Archives in Wagga Wagga.
The image is obviously of an official occasion, most likely the
welcoming of some important people (possibly, the man and woman in the
centre front) to Wagga but we don’t know who they are or when it was
taken.
Two things we do know about it are that the people are standing on the
front steps of the Wagga Wagga Council Chambers (built in 1881) and
that the bearded gentleman in the hat in the back left is James
Gormly, Member for Murrumbidgee/Wagga (1885-1904), who died in 1922.
These two pieces of information equate to the photograph being taken
sometime between 1881 & 1922.
What we’re hoping for is that the wonderful blog readers know enough
about fashion so as to narrow down the time frame even further. The
best outcome would be for someone to actually recognise and name the
visitors.
We have many other undated photographs in Photo Investigator
<http://investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/introduction.htm>
and on our Flickr account
<http://www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw>. If you know the
dates or any other interesting facts about these images please let us
know <http://archivesoutside.records.nsw.gov.au/contact-us/>./
