History
Lyons is named in commemoration of Tommy Imabulg Lyons, a traditional owner (Greater Darwin Area) and senior man for the Danggalaba clan of the Larrakia people, who was a member of the "Black Watch" and worked as a police tracker. Tommy lived most of his life on the Cox Peninsula, Dum in Mirrie and Indian Islands in Bynoe Harbour. He died in 1978.[2]
