Next thing she knew, Carly was standing by the roadside and Ellie was romping around her ankles. For a moment, she was confused. She felt certain that she was still in Brisbane, but it seemed somehow different. It was not the Brisbane she had seen on the river cruise, but it was not the Brisbane of 1891 either. There were more buildings and more people.

She knew she was back in the past. She could tell by the fashions: there were ladies in long dresses and big hats and men in suits walking about. And there were horses trotting along the dirt roads - some of them pulling carriages.

But there was one big change. It was the noises that were strange. Carly closed her eyes and listened. That was it! A rumble of engines. She opened her eyes again and looked around. Sure enough, in amongst the horses and carriages, here and there a motor car trundled along the road. The cars had big wheels with spokes, like bicycle wheels. Most of them had no roofs.

Carly looked at Dora and giggled. She would never get used to seeing her friend in a long dress and bonnet and little wire-framed granny glasses.

‘You don’t look so cool yourself!’ Dora said with a laugh.

Ellie barked and ran in circles. ‘Poor Ellie,’ Dora said. ‘She’s confused.’

‘ELLIE!’ Carly shouted. The little dog had run out onto the road! Carly sprinted after her.

‘CARLY!’ Dora screamed. A horn blared and tyres screeched. Clouds of dust and gravel erupted. Something THUMPED into Carly’s back. She lurched upward like a cannon ball. She sailed high into the air and landed with a thud on the road.
