Summary

When the Dane twins rush to watch a two-wheeled open carriage pass, the ancient aboriginal woman who is driving the carriage speaks to them with words that fill them with astonishment. Through the next few months they often recall the words of the old woman, from the 'Dream time' whose meeting with them began an adventure, which brought them closer to the heart of the mysterious and beautiful countryside of the Australian Alps.
