'"I found a message in a bottle!"
These are the words every beachcomber hopes to one day yell, and this
exclamation came from Ros Evans, sending a ripple of excitement through others
in her group.
They weren't hunting coins or treasures, but are members of Warrnambool's Beach
Patrol 3280 who spend hours each week picking up rubbish along the coastline.
The letter was inside a plastic drink bottle and contained the sweet notions of
a child, written in the careful handwriting of someone who had just got their
pen licence.
It read: "My name is Ines Zapcan, I am 8 years old, whoever finds this bottle
will have good luck for life from me and my family".
Ms Evans managed to track down Ms Zapcan and discovered that she was now 18
years old and living in Melbourne north-west. The letter elicited feelings of
nostalgia and remorse.'
Cheers,
