'Martin lives in the city with his mum. He’s come to walk the boundaries of the farm that’s been in his family for generations. It sounds easy, especially as he’ll own the land when he gets back.
'Martin’s great-grandfather, Ted, doesn’t even want him to walk around the farm’s fences, just up the gorge and along the hills. But up in the gorge Martin meets Meg from almost a century ago and Wullamudulla from thousands of years in the past. Despite their differences they discover that they’re all on the same journey… and that walking the boundaries means more than following lines on a map.' (Source: Publisher's blurb)

'The farm it was now all his, held in trust till he was twentyone. But it would still be in trust. That′s what it meant to own the farm You held it in trust, you looked after it, you cherished it. You were the guardian, like all the other guardians, stretching back in time ...
'The boundaries were more than lines on a map. Boundaries shifted in the gorge, till there were no boundaries at all, the lines between different times and different people so indistinct that everything seemed to merge. There is danger the land is calling him and Martin must walk the boundaries again. What will he find on his journey?
'In this sequel to Walking the Boundaries Martin finds the shifting boundaries take him further than he could have imagined deep into the future and further into the past.' (Publication summary)
