Message In A Bottle Found 9,000 Miles Away

A message in a bottle thrown into the English sea by a four-year-old girl has received a reply - from Australia.

Alesha Johnson sent the bottle on its way from Morecambe Bay in Lancashire last July. She had drawn a picture of herself and written a note saying, 'My name is Alesha. If you get this message, please write back'.

This week, she got a reply from Bob, describing himself as a 10-year-old boy from Perth, Western Australia.

Bob's reply included a map pinpointing exactly where the letter was found.


The bottle travelled roughly 50 miles per day.

A very charming story, but now I'm going to have the Police singing in my head all night long. Thanks a lot!

Something tells me that Alesha needs a hobby.
