The Rock

By Ted Stephens

The liquid, they must have
drugged me, thought Matt.
He saw a man raising a
spear high above. In a fl ash
he thought of Kim but was
unable to coordinate his
thoughts or even to turn his
head to check on his friend. Everything became blurred. The
spear came down, and he felt a sharp, piercing pain. This is the
end That was his last thought; after that, there was nothing.
Three year 9 students perform a routine experiment in a
school laboratory and they travel thousands of years back in time,
fi nding themselves in the middle of the Aboriginal Dreamtime.
They land on a big rock in the prehistoric Australian outback.
They experience fear, tribal rituals and even death. They learn
the ways of our Indigenous Ancestors.
However, throughout their ordeal, the boys never stop
thinking about their own time and of ways to get back home.
