GoPro washes up on beach five years after its last photos were taken - so do you recognise this woman?

The hunt is on for a woman who appears in a series of photos on a GoPro camera that was found on a Queensland beach, five years after it was presumably lost.

Cara Ryan and her two children, Caden, 4, and Aria, 2, found the destroyed camera on a beach while on holidays.

"They didn't realise what it was, they were more more excited about the star fish sand mound they found," Ms Ryan told Yahoo7.

The GoPro is assumed to have spent years in the sea as the photos found on the device date back to 2012.

"It was in a waterproof case, it had some sea growth on the case but was undamaged," Ms Ryan said.

"Not sure if the Go Pro still works as we have no cords for it but it seems in good condition."

Mr Ryan said she realised the camera had an SD card in it and she put it into her computer. She was shocked when she saw the date of the images.

"I couldn’t believe the date when I put the card in my laptop!! I was shocked," Ms Ryan said.

"The thought of the journey it has been on. I tried to work out where she was surfing from the videos but couldn’t make it out. So would love to find out!"

The GoPro was found on Goat Island across from Cotton Tree in Maroochydore in Queensland.

"One lady has come forward saying she knows the person however said it wasn’t lost five years ago," she said.

"Would love to find the owner. Know how precious memories are! So amazing!"
