Only one Alice Brown born in NZ in 1866.
Her parents were called Daniel and Caroline.
To allow for margin of error in dates, search births of all chidren called Alice Brown born between 1864 and 1871:

https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Search/Search.aspx?Path=%2fqueryEntry.m%3ftype%3dbirths#SearchResults

1871/28208 Brown Alice Simmonds - Parents Mary Elizabeth & Richard -
1864/12080 Brown Marian Alice - Parents Mary Ann & Horace Simpson -
1869/19339 Brown Alice Mary Catherine -Parents Rose & David -
*1866/30033 Brown Alice - Parents Caroline & Daniel -
1869/33205 Brown Alice Maud Mary - Parents Mary Jane & Benjamin -
1864/9751 Brown Martha Alice - Parents Mary Ann & David -

You would need to confirm that the 1866 birth refers to the correct Alice Brown. and If so, her parents were Daniel Brown and Caroline Taylor who married in NZ 1863.

Not sure if the death is her, but if it is, the middle name might help track her down

Not sure about Oz geography , I have more knowledge of the internal combustion engine than Oz !!
