Outside of bedroom activities, there wasn’t much else that garnered much attention. The road was long, dusty in places, muddy in others. Clarissa helped pull them through the Coomera river, something Florence asked for, with far more politeness than he had the first time. Coomera led the way to Helensvale, and then to a place that Calon hadn’t actually seen on a map before. All the while, things got steadily busier and more built up. There were the farming towns, sure. But there were others too. Factories, or at least businesses, that created actual goods. There were mills grinding flour and cutting wood. Blacksmiths, using large equipment to hammer iron into shape for wagons. Wagons themselves became something to look at.

There were still plenty of merchants on the road. The Caravan had grown somewhat as they did. Safety in numbers meant something, and Florence didn’t dissuade anyone from tagging along. Calon just made sure not to bother keeping too close an eye on any of them.

“Ernest Junction,” Calon frowned.

“It’s real,” Suki added. “There’s just a tunnel now if you went to see it back home. We’re in Molendinar about where the highway used to turn off to Southport.”

“How do you know all this shit?” Clarissa asked.

Suki shrugged. “I know a lot of stuff. If I wasn’t learning something, my parents would punish me. This was just something that came up one time.”

“So… What’s it for then?” Calon asked.

“Railway,” Suki nodded, before frowning. “Which is weird, that they don’t have one.”

Calon nodded. “We’ve already sorta figured out that, while a lot of things are similar. It’s nothing like the world we came from.”

“No shit?” Clarissa gaped. “What gave it away? Having pop-ups, or the beastkin?”

Calon rolled his eyes. “You know what I mean. This isn’t just… An alternate version of the timeline we grew up in. This is more like… a fantasy realm, BASED on our timeline.”

“Nobody’s carrying around guns,” Suki pointed out. “And while this road is here, there’s no railway. Does that mean steam power hasn’t been invented yet?”

“I doubt that,” Calon shook his head. “If there was no steam power, then there’s no industrial revolution.”

“We’d be well into that by now,” Suki agreed. “It started almost thirty years before the British discovered Australia, and didn’t let up until the eighteen-forties.”

“Could we be after that point, then?” Clarissa asked.

Calon shook his head. “Nope, the industrial revolution was an uptick in factories and production. It didn’t end when the revolution did, it just became the norm and things continued. This is more like certain things just didn’t happen. We’re still in Australia, the towns are still named what they’re supposed to be named, but we’ve missed a few things.”

“Like cars,” Suki pointed out.

Calon nodded. “Evie and I already thought about that one. The first cars came to Australia in the late eighteen hundreds and were steam powered. It wasn’t until just before the first world war, that petrol cars were a thing.”

“Holy shit, we could be alive for the first world war?” Clarissa gasped.
