Three camps housed prisoners of war, and four camps held internees who were civilians living in Australia or people from other allied countries who were deemed to be a security risk.

The camps were situated in the Goulburn Valley as food was plentiful and there was a good supply of water from the Waranga Basin.

The tour cost includes museum entry and afternoon tea. BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL.
