There, Lacey meets Mrs Elspeth Fotheringay, owner of Gateway Cottage, whose photograph she discovers in a book about the railway an image taken a hundred years earlier.

Mrs Fotheringay soon reveals that Gateway Cottage is a time portal linking her home to the Denborough of 1914, when it was a karri logging town. Initially, Lacey doesn't believe this until the old lady shows her another photograph, taken sometime during 1914, which clearly shows Lacey's image.

Mrs Fotheringay convinces Lacey to travel back in time so she can take her place in the photograph. However, unbeknown to them, Kieran pursues them through the time portal into a summer heatwave in January 1914 but soon becomes lost in time...
