Kulin

Distinguished and Famous people from Kulin

🌟 Mary Lucchesi, Anne-Marie Carmody and Serge Lucchesi

Kulin’s Tin Horse Highway owes its character to local people turning farm scrap into roadside humour. Mary Lucchesi encouraged farmers to make horse sculptures along the route to the bush races, while Anne-Marie Carmody and Serge Lucchesi are credited among the earliest makers. What followed was friendly creative competition: sheds and workshops became studios, and discarded metal acquired ears, hooves and personality. The shire’s account treats the sculptures as a community project with individual stories behind each horse. These people’s connection is the work they helped create locally, a distinctive contribution to Kulin’s public art and visitor identity.
