Also in the capsule was a business card for an Italian restaurant in Rozelle, Sydney, called La Bettola, a Westpac transaction record, a Twinings tea bag, a flyer for a ‘zen meditation yoga’ studio, a Band-aid, a stamp and matches and coins.
The post caught the attention of nostalgic members and racked up hundreds of ‘likes’ and dozens of comments from people impressed by her find.
‘It’s amazing how much the world has changes even in just 32 years,’ one woman said.
‘Looks like he had a good date planned. $110 of Italian for dinner, cuppa tea and maybe some action afterwards. Seems like he was preparing for anything. Looks like it was an anticlimactic date though…’ joked another.

‘Virgin condoms…Oxymoron,’ laughed a third and a fourth replied: ‘I’m sure that Twinings would still be a good drop of tea’.
Many wondered if the lottery ticket was a winner while others reminisced about the since-closed La Bettola restaurant and news stories from the paper.
‘Hope they checked the lottery ticket before it was wrapped up!’ one user commented.
‘I remember going to that Italian restaurant, closed it around 2000-05?’ a second recalled.
‘The Chelmsford issue I still remember vividly the news reports,’ a third said in reference to the newspaper front page about the controversial psychiatric hospital.
