For me it would come down to this: if you have money for a lens or two and value auto-focus, the 810 is the better all around camera. If you have very little for lenses and are open to manual focus, then the focus peaking and ability to adapt most lenses ever made to the a7r may be more advantageous.

I would like to try a full frame sensor camera with a high resolution
sensor. Money is tight at present. Cameras have become very expensive in
Australia with steep price rises in the past year so I have narrowed the
choice to a second hand Sony A7R series 1 or a Nikon D810. Both have 36
mgp sensors. As ever both have pluses and minuses. I am a generalist. I
enjoy taking pictures; whatever strikes my fancy, from portraits to street
work, especially monochrome. Does anyone have any thoughts on which would
be better for me? Any constructive advice is appreciated.

Skip the A7Ri and go for the A7Rii. No image stabilization in the A7Ri.
Sony A7Rx vs Nikon 8XX boils down to whether you want Mirrorless or flippy flappy mirrors. Looking to the future or living in the past?
The 36 and higher mp sensors require a superb quality of lens, with very small circles of confusion— hi rez— to make it worthwhile shooting with such a pricey body. Nikon 800 bodies produce images, out of the camera, which meet almost anyone's standard of quality. Sony needs the help of a good editing program and a user with a good color sense.
