The Shire of Kulin has been successful in securing funds through the Wheatbelt Development Commission’s ‘Wheatbelt Regional Grant Scheme’ to provide interpretation for visitors to Kulin about the Tin Horse Highway. The project will aim to enhance the Tin Horse Highway by providing interpretation for visitors to help them understand why the horses are in situ and the stories behind them.
If you have anything about the Tin Horse Highway which you think a tourist/visitor may find interesting we would love to hear from you.
