This story of the "Lady on the five dollar note" is set in Sydney between the years 1840 and 1954 and provides ample chorus work for citizens, government officials, miners, camp followers, immigrant wives and settlers. Apart from Caroline, Archibald Flora and Tom, all the other characters may be doubled by cast members according to the size of the company. It is easier to create this effect by not attempting to have solid sets and furniture.
