A camera that was lost in Maui in 2007 has been washed up more than 5,200 miles away in Taiwan - and the memory card is still working perfectly.

The Daily Mail reports that an employee of China Airlines found the camera resting in the sand while walking along a beach in Taiwan.

Although it was covered in barnacles and sand, the memory card was still inside - and it contained dozens of pictures taken during a diving trip in Kannapali, in August 2007.

If he can find the camera's owner, China Airlines are offering a free ticket for the them to come and collect the camera from Taiwan.
