About Tin Horse Highway
The Tin Horse Highway is a 15-kilometre community art drive linking Kulin to Jitarning in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, about 280 kilometres southeast of Perth. Created by local residents to promote the annual Kulin Bush Races, it features more than 70 life-size horse sculptures made from scrap tin, corrugated iron and farm materials. Each horse is individually themed with humour, lining the roadside on private farmland and forming an open-air gallery.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a self-drive experience along a sealed rural road lined with more than 70 life-size tin horse sculptures placed in paddocks and on road verges. Horses are individually painted and themed, depicting racehorses, working horses, humorous characters and community scenes. The setting is open Wheatbelt farmland with flat to gently undulating fields. Visitors drive slowly, stopping at pull-over areas to view and photograph sculptures from the roadside. There is no formal gallery building; the highway itself is the attraction.
