Last night I got an email from a constable in Queensland informing me that they found the bottle. Here is the press article. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-25/police-find-bottled-message-on-far-north-qld-beach/7199082 What are the odds????? Last edited by Kimber; 02/25/2016 12:47 PM.

Teased the owner today that there was not only a littering fine but a cleanup fee too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
