Through Darkest Pondelayo: An account of the adventures of two English ladies on a cannibal island is a 1936 Australian satirical novel by Joan Lindsay, published under the pseudonym Serena Livingstone-Stanley.

The author, the English Serena Livingston-Stanley, her friend, Francis, and maidservant Placket, sail from Harwich on "May 14th" in an unspecified year into the Mediterranean and via the Suez Canal reach Ceylon on 12 June.

In Dead Mother-in-Laws Cove, the adventure party faces a crocodile-infested swamp, and on 27 July arrives at Tikki Bahaar, the first native village they encounter.

The narrative ends at the Mission House on 1 October with the author telegraphing the Reverend Whitecorn for the loan of five pounds to cover the cost of her return passage.
