Police have found the body of a man outside of Maxwelton in Queensland's north-west after a land and air search.
Formal identification of the body is underway but authorities believe the body is that of 25-year-old Trent Grose who was reported missing on Saturday.
The body was on found on Sunday morning about 17 kilometres from an abandoned vehicle, which was found with a flat battery on another remote property, on Wednesday.
Police said he had no water with him when he was found sitting under a tree.
Mr Grose was last seen two weeks ago when he borrowed a four-wheel drive from friends.
Police are not treating the death as suspicious.
Mother launched desperate plea
Mr Grose's distraught mother had earlier appealed for help to find her son.
Karen Grose said she was frantic as her son normally called her every few days despite his work in remote areas.
"My phone is actually blowing up with messages and calls [about the search]," she said.
"People up there are just wonderful.
"I just want him found; I want him alive."
She said her son was a "bush boy" who did all sort of jobs in the outback.
"He had been working up in that Richmond area on a lot of the stations and he had recently been driving graders," she said.
"He had just quit his job on Wondoola [station, 480km north-east of Mount Isa] and he was going up to Toowoomba for a job interview and he was going to stay with a lass he knows there.
"He's worked in that heat for many years.
"I'm beyond frantic — I'm actually getting a bit numb," she said.
