Australia handkerchiefs, any thoughts as to vintage?

I am no expert on handkerchiefs, but these remind me of ones that I am sure were from the 20s, with the hand painting and rather un-nose-worthy fabric (these are probably silk chiffon, but it is hard for me to be sure, and there is not a thread to test). The graphics look more like 50s to me. Would these be souvenirs?

The edges are not turned and sewn, but are finished with what looks like paint to keep the edges from raveling.

Any thoughts as to the era?
