Mr English, 38, from Caboolture has been missing since February 2019 and was last seen in the Northern Territory having come through Mount Isa to the Barkly region, where he last contacted his family.
In August the Australian Federal Police highlighted Mr English's situation as the face of Missing Persons Week.
He left Caboolture early last year and had visited Mount Isa before driving to Tennant Creek in a dark grey Ford Falcon with NSW plates FPV 849.
He texted his parents a photo of the town sign for Mount Isa in Queensland on February 11, 2019.
"That's one ticked off the bucket list," he wrote.
His family haven't heard from him since.
Police confirmed he called in at the Barkly Homestead where he was last heard from though he was seen in Tennant Creek, believed to be heading south.
Two NT media outlets this week said a body was found last month on a station in the Davenport Ranges south of Tennant Creek and police were investigating under the assumption the remains are Mr English's.
