The Time Machine: The incredible conveyance invented in H. G. Wells’ astounding ‘futurific’ novel that was both exultation and lament of man’s potential to either use or misuse science that has captured imaginations for over a century.

But what if the geomagnetic convergences that created the Australian continent were actually enough to power a real, working time machine? A device that thus only worked on Australian soil; to bounce through the timestream?

Join an assembly of Australia’s greatest writers of speculative fiction to find out, as they tell narratives of joy, of sadness, or of horror around this concept, and we follow various denizens of Down Under to destinies both Forward and to the Past.

Witness, with astonishment, as the landmass that, historically, observers called the ‘land beyond time’ now truly lives up to the title.
