"A girl&amp;#039;s message in a bottle has travelled from Dorset to Australia. Jasmine Hudson dropped her message from the end of Bournemouth Pier, hoping it may find its way to her aunt in Guernsey. Five months later, she received a letter in the post from Largs Bay in South Australia. It had travelled around 10,000 miles before hitting land. Barbara Richards discovered the bottle while walking along the beach with her brother collecting shells. Finding Jasmine&amp;#039;s address inside the bottle, Barbara confirmed that the location was real on Google, and wrote a message of her own. &amp;quot;Dear Jasmine, As fate would have it we have been introduced to each other by your message in a bottle, Bournemouth Pier looks very interesting,&amp;quot; it read. &amp;quot;I searched online on the computer to find out what I could, yes the pier exists and yes your address was there too.  &amp;quot;Your message in a bottle took five months to float up on Largs Bay Beach in South Australia. &amp;quot;My name is Barbara. My brother Colin and I were walking along the beach for some exercise collecting shells and reminiscing about our childhood when I saw your little bottle.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Man breaks record after finding 97-year-old message in a bottle &amp;gt; Message in a bottle found after 24 years She continued: &amp;quot;I scooped it up and we drove home with it where we opened it. I must share with you that I was so excited to find a message in a bottle. &amp;quot;I hope my note finds you well and brings you joy to know it has landed safely into my hands on the 13th of September 2012. &amp;quot;If you would like to communicate I am also on Facebook or just write and let me know you received my note. Until then I wish you well, stay safe.&amp;quot; Jasmine&amp;#039;s mother Louise had warned her daughter that the bottle may never be found. &amp;quot;Jasmine&amp;#039;s grandparents had bought her a message-in-a-bottle kit when they went on holiday as a present,&amp;quot; Mrs Hudson told the Daily Mail. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s supposed to be a bit of a novelty, but we were going on holiday to Bournemouth, so we thought we&amp;#039;d fill it in and take it along. &amp;quot;Jasmine&amp;#039;s aunt lives in Guernsey, so we said we&amp;#039;d see if we could get the bottle to float a few miles across the channel. &amp;quot;Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think it would get all the way to Australia.&amp;quot; Jasmine and Barbara are now in regular contact on Facebook.
