| History/Origin | This eastern Coomalie locality is named after the stream - Coomalie Creek running though the locality. Coomalie Creek is believed to have been first recorded by Surveyor AA Briggs in 1913 when he and Surveyor Muntz where surveying the area adjacent to the Adelaide River. For many years the origin of Coomalie Creek, together with Glenluckie Creek, were unknown. In 1995, following Dr Mark Harvey study of Aboriginal toponyms in the environs of Darwin, it was found that these two creek names may be corruptions of the aboriginal names - Gumili and Ganlaki respectively. |
