Wanurr Bob Namundja was born in Western Arnhem Land to the Kardbam clan in 1933. He spoke Kunwinjku- part of the Bininj Kunwok language group.

During the 1960s, he lived on the Oenpelli Mission in what is now known as the Gunbalanaya in the Northern Territory. With the rise of the outstation movement, he split his time in the 1970s between Gunbalanya and the small community of Makorlod. By the mid-1980s, he had returned to Gunbalayana with his wife Dianne and his four children to work as a police tracker.

The older brother of Don Nakadilinj Namundja, a fellow artist. He also worked in law enforcement as a stockman in Central Arnhem Land.
