He spent four years in the notorious Newgate prison. Left England on 27th March 1791. Ship:- the 'Albermarle' sailed with 282 male convicts on board of which 32 died during the voyage, 2 due to executions. Arrived on 13th October 1791. On arrival he worked in the government stores and was pardoned after 16 months in the Colony. Charles was said to have been well educated and he joined the New South Wales Corps 102nd Regiment on 11th February 1793. He served as Orderly Sergeant to William Bligh. When John Macarthur, a free settler, threatened Bligh during one of their clashes, Charles seized and broke Macarthur's sword. Bligh meanwhile locked himself in his bedroom. Charles married convict Elizabeth Berry ('Glatton' 1803) at St Phillips Church Sydney on 19th March 1810, they had 7 children between 1804-1821.

On 22nd February 1822 he was by now commanding the Bodyguard of Light Horse and was on a list of people strongly recommended by Macquarie to the Patronage, Protection and Kinship of the new Governor, Sir Thomas Brisbane. A reference written by Governor Macquarie in 1822, described Sgt. Whalan as "peculiarly correct, honest, honourable and faithful, never having had one occasion to find fault with him, or in the least degree to censure his conduct… I do further certify that sergeant Whalan is worthy of anything that can possibly be done for him. I accordingly most strongly recommend him to the favour, kindness and patronage of His Excellency the Governor in Chief for some position under Government." Lachlan Macquarrie was the god father of Charles & Elizabeth's 5th Child, Macquarrie Whalan b1816 & d1820. Charles was finaly discharged from srvice on 22nd February 1824.
