Mondo Island

Mondo Island is a fictional island featured in the 1967 film King Kong Escapes. It is one of the main settings of the film.

Description
Mondo Island is a small tropical located several kilometers southeast of the country of Australia. It is in all likelihood the same locale that has been referred to as Farou Island. The island is inhabited by a small tribe of natives who worship a sixty-foot tall gorilla named Kingukongu, or King Kong. In addition to Kong, Mondo Island was inhabited by a dinosaur of equal size named Gorosaurus. The waters surrounding the island were known to be inhabited by dangerous sea serpents.

American military officer Carl Nelson was very familiar with Mondo Island and could even speak the islanders' native language. He was also aware of the legend of Kong and had studied it extensively.

History
In 1967, Commander Carl Nelson of the submarine vessel The Explorer diverted his course to Mondo Island after his ship suffered rudder damage from a rock slide. He and his crew-mates Jiro Nomoru and Lieutenant Susan Watson took a hovercraft to the shore of the island.
