Charlie was born at Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs) north west of Mount Leibig around Waite Creek. He received some basic European schooling at the Mission School in Yuendumu and was initiated near Haasts Bluff. He worked as a stockman for seven years on a Station at Haasts Bluff and later in Queensland. After marrying his first wife, Nora Nakamarra, he worked on Narwietooma Station for another seven years. Charlie and his wife came to Papunya in the very early days of the settlement, when there were only a couple of houses built.
