I think the answer lies in the wisteria ... There is an excellent slide show of Lodge photos here - news.domain.com.au/photogallery/domain/the-pms-home-in-ca... . No.30 of 37 shows Joseph Lyons, his wife Enid, and eleven (!) children on the lawn in 1939. The plants are all a little larger than in this photo, so this is earlier, probably 1938, as many of the railway carriage decoration photos. (No.28 is also of interest, but is reversed).

The Lyons family photo is also on Wikipedia (via NLA) -

Hmmm.... The removable nature of plants makes this a hard one to call. Here's another image dated 1950 ... I'm not sure that it helps us out much but see what you think! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TheLodge1950.jpg -AG

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw] - AG - That same image is dated as "ca.1940" here - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn4660686-s204 , and "ca.1950" here - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3572357 !! Also a colourised version "ca. 1920-ca. 1950" here - www.slv.vic.gov.au/pcards/gid/slv-pic-aab09728/1/pc000049 (Via a Trove pictures search for "The Lodge Canberra") Clear as mud! I think a Parliamentary Inquiry and Royal Commission is required ...
