Now and then: The girl in the image, aged just 17 at the time, is 58-year-old veteran TV presenter Lisa Wilkinson
She captioned the photo: ‘Jeez I loved a skinny brow back in the 70s, hey? And that Hawaiian print top was my absolute fave!’
Lisa added: ‘This is me aged 17 on a family holiday to the Gold Coast…one of the very few shots I have from that time.’
The mum-of-three also says she ‘was very good at hiding from the cameras back then’ which is amusing considering she became a TV personality.
It’s not the first time Lisa has shared a throwback snap, with an earlier photo of Lisa aged 15 showed her looking remarkably similar to her daughter Billi, 20, who she shared with Peter FitzSimons.

The family resemblance between Lisa and Billi was evident in the photo – in particular their similar eyes, smiles and jawlines.
The journalist joked about her thin eyebrows, in fashion at the time, when posting that photo too.
She joked: ‘How good was the fashion uniform of the day: Peasant blouses? And thin eyebrows.’
They could be sisters! The family resemblance between Lisa and Billi was evident in the throwback photo – in particular their similar eyes, smiles and jawlines
