Kulin Bush Races
Visit Kulin
Welcome to Kulin!
Located in the heart of the Wheatbelt, the vibrant Kulin Region offers a fantastic array of visitor attractions and is a convenient stopover for those travelling to Wave Rock or Esperance.
Famous for our quirky Tin Horse Highway, annual Bush Races event and giant waterslide, the vibrant Kulin region provides a true rural experience. Kulin is also the perfect base to explore the Eastern Wheatbelt. Easy day trips can be made to many of the region’s unique and iconic sights including Wave Rock. Kulin is very proud of the services and experiences available to visitors and we look forward to welcoming you.
Community
The population of the Shire of Kulin is just over 800 with less than half of those living in the town of Kulin. The Kulin community has a strong history of volunteering and working together to ensure Kulin continues to be a great place to live and a town and region we can be proud of.
Agriculture
On your way to the Kulin Bush Races, you’ll drive past endless paddocks of sheep, wheat, barley, canola, lupins and oats. These are grown by the many farmers of the district who, like all farmers, have a strong passion for feeding and clothing the country. Many Kulin farmers and their families are volunteers at the races and love sharing what they do with our visitors.
