This is the story of some working class Ten Pound migrants from England —- of those who made the transition from UK to resettlement in South Australia —- and of those who did not and went back. The tale is set in a two year period in the late 1960's in and around Adelaide, South Australia, and its satellite city, Elizabeth. The author has created the characters and fictionalised the events described so to give dramatic effect to what was day-to-day routine for many migrants from their day of arrival through the ensuing months of adjustment.
