Charlie Sadadeen

Saleh "Charlie" Sadadeen, sometimes spelt Sadadene, (c.1870 – 19 July 1933) was an Afghan cameleer and bushman who lived in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia.

By 1880 he was working as a camel man for Lord Roberts on the march from Kabulto Kandahar as a part of the British Army.

He was working with camel teams by 1902 for the Wallis Brothers, carting goods from Oodnadatta to Stuart, now Alice Springs and to Arltunga.

Smith suffered from migraines and describes Sadadeen leaving him under a tree with a billy of water, expecting him to catch up to the camel train upon recovery.

[6] He also kept camels and grew vegetables at a place called Sadadeen Swamp about 30 kilometres south of Alice Springs.
