Convicted pedophile Dennis Ferguson has been moved from his temporary home in southwest Queensland, after local residents had gathered outside the property last night and demanded he leave.
Ferguson had been taken to the rural property near Miles, about 120 kilometres northwest of Dalby, after his release from custody on Tuesday night.
Police say Ferguson has been moved to a location outside the Darling Downs region at his request.
Ferguson was set free after District Court Judge Hugh Botting dismissed child sex charges against him, partly on the grounds that he would not receive a fair trial on new sex charges.
Attorney-General Kerry Shine launched an appeal against the judge's decision, which will be heard on July 22.
