She went missing on May 15.

The chilling final message from 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop before she went missing has been revealed.

Bishop was last seen en route from a run-down Gin Gin house, where she was staying, to Bundaberg airport, Australia, on the morning of Thursday, May 15. 

The Daily Mail have revealed the final messages she sent to one of her friends – who wishes to remain anonymous – on May 12.

When asked how she was, Bishop said: “I’ve been better but I focus on the good s***.

“I take of (sic) to WA in three days! Get out of this s*** home for a bit so that will be good, just packing atm (at the moment).”

When asked how long she was going for, she said: “10 days beautiful x.”

The last man to see Bishop, James Wood, has promised to give his boat to anyone that can lead police to the missing teen.

In a post to social media, he said: “Any little bit of information can help, please if you know something, please contact her family.

“If you know where she is and can give her family a legit address to bring her home or make contact with her, you can (have) my fishing boat as a reward, 15 ft alloy tinnie with trailer and all.

“It’s not much but it’s yours if you know where she is, and please homie (Pheobe) if you see this please just contact one of us and let us know you’re ok.'”

Police descended on Good Night Scrub National Park on Friday night.

Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson said: “The dive squad assisted today with searching waterways in that area.”
