Clifford Possum taught him to carve and he had a job at Papunya school for a time, giving 'manual training’ classes in the carving of snakes and goannas. Billy Stockman , Tim Leura and Dinny Nolan were among the Papunya Tula painters he watched and learned from as a young man growing up in Papunya.
