CANBERRA: A fisherman man said on Wednesday he was looking for the author of a message in a bottle found off the southern Australian coast 50 years after it was written. Paul Elliot told Australian Broadcasting Corp. that he and his son Jyah found the bottle on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia state while fishing. Government oceanographer David Griffin said the bottle could not have remained afloat for 50 years off the south coast because “the ocean never stays still.”Griffin suspected that the bottle had been buried on a beach for years then refloated by a storm. Hundreds of thousands of Britons migrated to Australia in the 1960s with the Australian government subsidizing their fares. But a quarter of them returned to Britain within a few years when life in Australia fell short of their expectations.
