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).
