Mundoo is a locality in the far north of the state of Queensland, Australia. The locality is immediately to the south of the regional centre of Innisfail. At the 2006 census, Mundoo and the surrounding area had a population of 121.[1]

The main feature of the town is the Innisfail Aerodrome[2] which overshadows most buildings within the community. Mundoo State School has around 100 students.

The vast majority of Mundoo and the surrounding area is currently under sugar cane cultivation, the main agricultural crop for the region. There are also small pockets of bananas and other tropical fruits such as pawpaw. The centre of the community is situated around the north-eastern side of the Aerodrome and contains a small collection of houses.

History
