 At Haasts Bluff Whiskey met and married Colleen Nampitjinpa, a Luritja woman (also a ngangkari), and they had 5 children together and, following working for rations as a labourer at Areyonga, the family eventually settled in Mount Liebig in the 1980s.It was here that Whiskey got his European name as people started calling him "Whiskers", for his long white beard and his wry humour and this name evolved in to "Whiskey".Mount Liebig is about 80 km from Papunyua so, from its earliest days, Whiskey was aware of the Western Desert Art Movement and attended the opening of the Ikuntji Art Centre (which was established with the help of Marina Strocchi) where his wife was involved.
