Tea Wright-Finger, 19, was last seen in a blue Toyota Prado near Richmond, roughly 500km west of Townsville, on October 16.
The vehicle was spotted by crew on a mustering helicopter in bushland on Wednesday, and the teen’s body was found just over 600m away on Thursday.
Police do not believe her death is suspicious, and a report will be submitted to the coroner.
In a statement, police said they had spoken to Tea’s family and extended their deep condolences to her family and loved ones.
Investigators thanked the State Emergency Service (SES), local property owners and the community for their assistance and information provided during the search for Tea.
