The Bachelorette Australia 2018: Who is Charlie?

The Bachelorette Australia is about to kick off with Ali Oetjen at the helm, and it looks like we already have a front-runner in Sydney builder Charlie.

In their first meeting on the red carpet in episode 1, the 31-year-old puts his heart on his sleeve when he tells Ali he wants to find true love and start a family.

Charlie, who was previously engaged, even gave Ali a handmade journal that she can use on her Bachelorette journey, with a note from him on the first page.

The note reads: “As we spend time together I hope to have my name written on each and every page, but at the end of each day at least I know, I’ll always have this one.”
