Dhurringile is a locality in Victoria, Australia, located 10 km north of Murchison and approximately the same distance east of the Waranga Basin reservoir.[2] It is located in the City of Greater Shepparton. At the 2021 census, Dhurringile had a population of 369.[1]
The historic Dhurringile mansion (now part of HM Prison Dhurringile) is located in the town. Dhurringile was the name of a 65 room mansion built in 1875 by James Winter, a wealthy squatter. The name is thought to have an Aboriginal origin meaning emu’s back, which the hill on which the mansion is built is said to resemble.
The town has a small primary school. In 2023 just three students were enrolled.[3]
