A message in a bottle thrown into the sea off North Cape has turned up
on a remote Australia beach - a 5000km journey.
Former Northlander Blair Milligan tossed the bottle from a yacht halfway between the Three Kings Islands and North Cape in January.
This week the 14-year-old received an email from an Australian tramper saying it had been discovered nearly 5000km away at Cedar Bay, near Cooktown in North Queensland.
