Police said there were four separate occasions between March and November this year where a naked man, 51, was visible to teenage girls either in his yard or in his house at west Gladstone.

Police said the man would allegedly stand naked in areas around his home that were visible to the public when he knew children would be walking past.

Three girls in their early teens reported the incident to police and then man was charged with four counts of indecent treatment of children.

He is expected to appear at Gladstone Magistrates Court in December.

Police have urged anyone who experiences a similar situation to contact police and report the behaviour straight away.
