amateur photographer(?), storekeeper and public servant, has been attributed with a collection of ambrotypes taken in 1861 at Dunolly, Victoria, where he and his brother Richard owned a hay and corn store. At the 1861 Victorian Exhibition he showed 24 ambrotypes of the principal buildings in Dunolly, 22 of which are now in the La Trobe Library (State Library of Victoria). Some have 'R. Dicker’ on the back and it is possible that Richard rather than Charles was responsible for these, although Newton suggests that all may have been commissioned rather than taken by either of the brothers. Charles Dicker later became Dunolly Town Clerk.
