On a fraking island man.
In addition to the previous ingenious answer, let me add the following:
The island that Lord of Flies takes place on is most likely part of the Maldives in the Indian ocean. Though Golding himself references, "Pacific waves" in Chapter Four, the Pacific Ocean doesn't make any sense. In Chapter One Jack refers to Simon fainting in "Gib and Addis." These clearly refer to the Rock of Gibraltar and Addis Abbaba. Connecting the dots from London to the Rock to Ethiopia (capital: Addis Abbaba) leads directly into the Indian Ocean, which also makes sense because the British children were probably being sent to Australia to avoid the war.
In "Lord of the Flies," the gully is a rocky area near the beach on the island where the boys find a source of fresh water. It is significant in the story as a location where conflicts and important events take place, such as Simon's death.
