COINCIDENCE or WHAT?

Back in the early 70's my brother and SIL moved to Dampier and stayed there for 38 years. Middle 70's he decided to study and obtain his light plane pilot's licence. During his studies he met up with a Doctor that had a "flying practice" and owned a Cessna 180. He hired the plane for training and after gaining his licence used to fly the Doc out to his practices, Tom Price, Paraburdoo and some other remote places and return the next day or so and pick him up.

A few years went by and progress deemed the flying Doc unnecessary, my brother stopped flying as it got expensive and lost contact with the Doc.
Fast forward to 2008, my brother sold up, bought a van and hit the road full time and a few weeks ago ended up in Bundaberg at the local Air Show. He was wandering around and came across this old Cessna that looked a bit familiar only it had been restored. Emailed down a photo and then rang me to see if I had any old photos of our trips to Dampier. No worries,I'll have a look through the slides, sure we've got one somewhere. Sure enough, there it is, same rego and paint colors (the green in the old slide has faded a bit) with different graphics. The only thing he didn't get to find was the owner or any info on the "new" plane but was sure tickled to come across it after 30 odd years.
