I did save quite a few dental charts using the Wayback Machine, but I was unable to retrieve the one from this case.
Bummer, thanks anyway.

Diane Schulte disapeared in march of 77 and I think she looks the most similar, but her height is listed at 5'5. To me she kind of looks like the Jane doe and by the looks of the picture her hair seemed to be in the same style.

Not all Australian accents are as pronounced as the ones you hear on TV, which it seems like are usually Queensland accents. Other regions more closely resemble western US or Canadian accents.
I spent three weeks traveling around Australia a few years ago, and nowhere was my Montana accent identified as American. Everybody thought I was from a different part of Australia. It was very strange and amusing.
If the Australian lead is a valid one then I think this might end up being Narelle Mary Cox. She left her home travelling to destinations unknown in May of 1977, three months before the decedent was found, and hasn't been seen since. Composite sketch and photo are not totally off. Cox was a hitchhiker.

ON May 7, 1977, a 21-year-old brunette with hazel eyes, a guitar and a backpack full of clothes said goodbye to her friends in Grafton with dreams of travelling ? perhaps to Noosa.
But her plans were never made clear. Friends did not know for certain whether she was heading north or south.
But whatever dreams Narelle Mary Cox had as she hitch-hiked from Grafton on that fateful day were never realised.
She has been missing ever since.
Perhaps she was in search of the last wave of seventies sentiment.
Hitch-hiking was much more common in the 1970s, but still amounted to roadside roulette as hikers relied on the kindness or cruelty of strangers driving north. How far she got is not known. Almost 30 years after her disappearance the same questions remain for her family.
Narelle's disappearance was reported to Clarence detectives at the time, but the investigation which ensued has uncovered nothing.
It is thought the 165cm woman of medium build may have run across serial killer Ivan Milat, who was apt at picking up people on lonely stretches of road.
Detectives believe Milat was in the area at the time.
However, no evidence has been found linking Milat, who is serving seven consecutive life sentences for murder, to Narelle.
Until new evidence surfaces the disappearance of Narelle Mary Cox remains filed away as a cold case.
The height for Narelle is off by around 6 inches.
I've often wondered just how accurate some of those estimates are.We've seen them off by a lot more.
