Mr Woodhead is in the process of being taken back to the homestead on the remote property where he went missing and will then be taken to Longreach Hospital.

Police Media said due to "poor communications" they do not have more details on how the teenager was found or in what circumstances.

Mr Woodhead was reported missing from the remote Upshot Station on Wednesday morning.

He was working as a jackaroo at the station as part of his "gap year'' and had been there for about 10 days.
