Moil is a northern suburb of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It is the traditional country and waterways of the Larrakia people.[4]

History

Moil was built before Cyclone Tracy in 1974. While on Larrakia land, it derives its name from the Aboriginal people on the Moyle River who inhabit an area on the lower reaches of the Daly River and around Port Keats.
