Good evening again,

Looks like a couple of Fowlers up front, circa 1905/1910.

Not being well educated in traction engines I googled Fowler and now know that it is a type of traction engine.
This photo was taken in NZ, probably Dunedin..

Neither are Fowlers, both are Burrell single crank compound traction engines, built by Charles Burrell of Thetford

This photo was taken in NZ,

That would explain the big cordyline then.  I am not so convinced by the trees in the background.
