Body found in search for missing woman west of Brisbane

Police have found a body during a search for a woman who went missing west of Brisbane more than two weeks ago. 

The body was located on Monday afternoon in Spring Mountain Forest Park, near Ipswich. 

Police believe it to be that of the missing woman, and are not treating the death as suspicious. 

The 74-year-old was last seen on December 30, when she wandered away from her family home in Augustine Heights.

Police on foot, horseback, ATV and bikes assisted in the search. 

They were aided by the SES and property owners in Spring Mountain, Springfield Central, Springfield Lakes, Augustine Heights and Brookwater.

"Investigators would like to thank the SES, local property owners and the community for their assistance in the extensive search and rescue efforts and for information provided during the search for the woman," a police spokesperson said.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
