HM Prison Dhurringile is a minimum security prison located on Murchison Road, Murchison, Victoria, Australia.
Situated 160 km north of Melbourne, the 68-room mansion, completed in 1877, was originally a homestead for a large farm. During World War II, it was used as an internment camp for 'alien civilians' and later for prisoners of war.[1]
After the war the property was used by the Presbyterian Church as a training camp for English and Scottish orphans, until it was purchased by the Victorian Government in 1965 for use as a minimum security prison. Over the years the grounds have been reduced to just over 1 km² (0.4 mile²).
