About Cooriemungle
Cooriemungle is a locality in the Shire of Corangamite in south-west Victoria. In 1938 the Cooriemungle Prison Farm was established there, housing up to 60 low-risk prisoners who helped the Forest Commission clear bush in the East Otway forest as part of the Heytesbury Settlement Scheme; the self-sufficient farm had its own dairy cattle, sawmill, orchard and vegetable garden. The prison farm closed in 1977, and part of the site was later reserved for public recreation.
