We have just spent the 3 most delightful days in the Kulin region camping in a hired campervan at the Kulin Bush Races. it's dusty if it hasn't rained, it's muddy if its been raining, lucky for us, it's was a lovely sunny 24c each day. the races are a fun, the entertainment is excellent, the food is typical of country style cooking, delicious and plentiful. Great place for the kids, amenities are basic, but that's ok for 3 days. Well worth the visit and the drive along the Tin Horse highway. All the locals have made "tin horses" out of scrap metal, and they are hilarious, with the pun on words with the names is great. Definite photo worthy opportunity.
All very interesting lots of tin horses around town, follow the highway for full viewing. Interesting characters relating to things around town.
We drove to Kulin for one reason only - The Tin Horse Highway.There is quite a lot of creativity here with varying poses and dioramas. If the road is quite you can slow down to get better pictures but it's a main road so be careful.Really great thing to explore if you are in the area.
Well worth the minor detour if you’re on your way too or from Wave Rock. Running through the small town of Kulin and far beyond are dozens of equine themed artworks created by local farmers. They come in all shapes, sizes, colours and themes and most are easily viewed from the road. You’ll probably find yourself wanting to pull over to have a closer look at some and take photographs and fortunately the road is usually sufficiently quiet to safely permit this. You can admire the sporting prowess of, among others, Rocky the Italion Stallion, Fillypoosis and Usain Colt. Oh yes, the puns are rife. Factoring in an extra hour onto your journey should give you enough time to complete the detour and make a few stops to check out your favourites. And it’s all free! What more could you ask for?
We were really impressed by who many local people have been involved including some nice displays in Kulin and along the Tin Horse Highway, a great credit to the locals.
While traveling from Corrigin Via Kulin to Wave rock you can venture thru the open fields of the Tin Horse Highway where you will see Tin Horses created by locals
What a fantastic initiative this is! I first heard about it through a paper at the Museums Australia conference in 2011, and vowed that I would one day see it, and I'm so very glad that I did!The sculptures vary in quality, but they are all clever and lots of fun - some are even wonderful pieces of art in their own right. I had to keep pulling over every few hundred metres to take another photo of a new sculpture!It is well worth a trip, and can be easily combined with a visit to Wave Rock and other attractions in the regions.
Well we have been going to Kulin now for 3 years via the Tin Horse Hwy, to spend a few days. While we are there we go to the Kulin Bush Races, of which on the day about 4-5 thousand people turn up to have a fun day. The Memorial Service for the Vets is a very moving experience on the Saturday morning of the Races, a must do. All the towns in our rural area do need people to come and visit and spend time and money, it is a great time of the year so get off your comfortable chair and visit and also see all our beautiful wild flowers that are all over the the State. I am from the city but i do love our country towns. So visit everyone?????
Relying on Satnav we got lost on the York to Crevantes road, so much so we ended up heading south and found ourselves on the Tin Horse Highway is well worth a drive through - plenty to look at and good fun too. It certainly made us laugh, stopping to take photos and generally cheering ourselves up realising we were 200kms in the wrong direction.
We had a lovely journey looking at all the creative Tin horses along the way. I understand that originally they were only on the hwy east of Kulin; but now friendly rivalry between East and West has started, with farmers west of Kulin getting creative too ..look out for the "West Kulin Whoppa".Sure it made our journey to Esperance longer and less direct but it was fun. It would also be great if you had kids in the car.We were in Kulin at lunch time and had a nice snack and coffee at a cafe inside the Mitre 10 store...the clue was all the locals coming out with takeaway coffees, etc. Very friendly staff and very clean.
