NSW: Missing tourist found on Central Coast

A British tourist .. who went missing after apparently losing the money for her return
flight to London at a Sydney casino .. has been found safe and well on the NSW Central
Coast.

24-year-old FRANCES MARY EMBLETON of London went to the Gosford police station today
just before her friends were to make an appeal to find her.

Ms EMBLETON was last seen eight days ago at the 3 Wise Monkeys bar, in inner-Sydney.

A police spokesman says Ms EMBLETON is safe and well and has been granted a temporary
bridging visa.

He says it's not yet known where she had been or why she disappeared.

Ms EMBLETON .. who had been on a 12 month working visa .. had told a bar patron she
gambled all of her savings at the Star City Casino and could not make the final payment
on her return fight to London.
