283 kilometres south-east of Perth
Kulin is located in the heart of the Wheatbelt and is a convenient stopover for travellers between Perth and Esperance.
While in this five star tidy town, don't miss a visit to the excellent local herbarium.
Jilakin Rock, 24 kilometres east of Kulin, is a spectacular grey monolith overlooking a lake. It is here that the popular Kulin Bush Races (see below for more information) are held every October, attracting visitors from all over the State. Further east are the unusual formations called Buckley's Breakaway. These pinkish white sculptured rocks make a stark contrast against the red brown gravel caps. Dragon Rocks Nature Reserve is another great attraction in the area.
Pay a visit to the largest regional water slide in Western Australia. Standing at 18m high and 172 metres long. Open during the summer months of the year, the slide is excitement for all ages. Contact the Shire of Kulin for more information on +61 8 9880 1204.
Enjoy all the attractions and stay overnight.
