CAMP 3 - RUSHWORTH INTERNMENT
AND POW CAMP
TATURA, VICTORIA
Camp 3 Rushworth Internment and POW Camp housed about 1,000 internees who were mostly family groups of German nationality. German Nationals from Palestine who were members of the Temple Society were also interned at Camp 3.
In 1984, the new formed Tatura & District Historical Society identified the seven World War Two POW and Internment camps in the Tatura district of Victoria as being of significant historical importance for the district. The Society opened the Bill Doller Room in 1991 to house their collection on these camps.
