Two young girls reported missing from the Port Stephens area earlier this week have been found safe and well overnight.
12-year-old Ellah White was last seen leaving Tomaree High School on Tuesday morning and 13-year-old Sophie Fletcher hadn't been seen since leaving a Nelson Bay home on Monday morning.
Police say they received a call from staff at Telarah Railway Station at about 11 o'clock on Wednesday night reporting both girls were together on the platform.
They were picked up a short time later and safely returned to their families.
