Cuballing is the home of the Dryandra Regional Equestrian Association, which attracts thousands of competitive horse riders to show jumping, dressage, events, and clinics at the world class facility every year.
Keep your eyes peeled for the jumping horse mascots on the Great Southern Highway, leaping out of town. Many of people stop to take photos with the beautiful pieces, created entirely out of horseshoes. 
The Railway Cottage was built in 1905 and is the last component of the old Railway Station precinct.
The Cuballing Tavern was built in 1892 and has been restored to its original design. The Cuballing Post Office was built in the early 1900’s, the Agricultural Hall 1912, St Peters Church in 1911 and the Western Australia Bank at the turn of the last century. All of these buildings can be seen in a pleasant walk around the town. |
