A woman that lost her silver watch on a Queensland beach has been reunited with the prized possession 44 years later.
Paula Wylde while on holiday at Surfers Paradise with her family in 1977 lost her precious watch at budds beach. Years later in 1984 the watch was rediscovered by a Melbourne woman named Nola Millar.
Upon finding the watch once more this year amongst household items Nola embarked on an intense investigation leading to its return to its rightful owner.
A key member of the communal investigation says,"It's satisfying and heartwarming to be part of this, and to reunite something with someone they thought they'd never see again."
