Default Help in finding a friend

My friend moved to Queensland many many years ago as a child. We wrote to each other regularly and then about 10 years ago we lost touch. She last lived in Bracken Ridge but I have no idea if she is still there.
Anyone got any ideas on how I might be able to find her. Her name by the way is Coral Bell in case by some miracle someone on here works with her.

No, it's really great (well the one's I've been in touch with so far anyway, there are a few I'd rather not meet on there )

I have already looked in the White Pages, Bell was her maiden name but she reverted back to it when she got divorced, of course she could well be married again now I suppose.
