Mystery as young beauty therapist missing for a week found 4500km away from her Central Coast home

A young beauty therapist who went missing almost a week ago has been found 4,500km away from home in Western Australia, with just her car and beloved dog. 

Isobel Bryne, 22, went missing from her home in Avoca Beach on the NSW Central Coast about 12:30pm last Tuesday and was found in Broome.

Police understand she may have driven there through Queensland and the Northern Territory. 

Her distraught family raised the alarm on Saturday, describing the young woman’s mysterious disappearance as ‘out of character’, prompting a frantic search.
