Diamantina Shire mayor Geoff Morton - whose remote council includes Birdsville and Bedourie - said he uploaded the sexy selfies on his work computer from a camera and emailed them to his personal address last year. But the images were detected by a council staffer, resulting in a complaint to chief executive Leon Love and later the Local Government Department.
Sources who have seen the images said one depicts the married father of two laying naked on a swag in a dry creek bed. It comes as Mr Morton prepares to welcome thousands of revellers for the famous Birdsville Races today. In March, Cr Morton was ordered by the local government watchdog to apologise, but details of his behaviour were hidden from the public. After a month investigation, Cr Morton - who was presented with an Order of Australia Medal in for his contribution to council and his community - admitted what happened and apologised to his constituents.

News Queensland 's Right to Information request last November asked for access to all of Cr Morton's emails that contained the words "sex", "Craig's List", or "ad". Twenty emails deemed to be in breach of council standards were found using those search terms, including his naked images.
Cr Morton said his racy photos were only sent to his personal email address. The Right to Information Commissioner would not confirm or deny this.
