"Any help or suggestions appreciated."

To what end?

What outcome are you wanting?

You are researching ...what?...the origins of this person?

What would constitute a successful result for using this forum?

Your help in any information regarding the couple in question. Have been on trove, looked at AER, searched family trees online, it is proving difficult to make any connections to family of the two in question.
Outcome would be to find a family of both these people

Australia has fairly strict privacy laws - for South Australia you cannot obtain birth certificates less than 100 years old, and deaths 30 years, and marriages less than 75 years.

There are death notices published in the Adelaide Advertiser
(indexed on Ryerson https://ryersonindex.org/search.php)

Thomas' death notice says he was 71.

I don't have access to the Adelaide Advertiser archive - perhaps the ask a librarian service at State Library SA:
https://askslsa.altarama.com/reft100.aspx?pmi=726950437558658679

I have found them quite helpful in the past.

I can't see a death notice for Joyce - there is a Joyce Florence HALLS died at Auburn 9 Sept 1991 - but I'm assuming this is not your Joyce?

Modified to add:
The Joyce Florence HALLS who died in 1991 in Auburn was the "loving wife of Arthur".
