The Big SLR Camera is a photographic museum on the Great Eastern Highway in Meckering, about 135km east of Perth.
The museum is a non-accredited information centre and can provide information about the Meckering earthquake and local tourism information. The Big SLR Camera is next to the Meckering Earthquake Display 
so you can find out information about the earthquake at any time. The page for Meckering Earthquake Display also has a list of other brown signs relating to the earthquake.
The museum building itself has been fashioned as a big camera. The entrance has a round cylinder entry way that resembles the lens on the front of the camera, and the basic shape of the building forms the boxy shape of an old 35mm camera. Above the lens is a raised section where the prism is normally housed in a typical SLR to direct the view through the viewfinder.
The museum has a vast display of cameras and other related equipment. Projectors, enlargers, movie equimpment, magic lanterns, Kalaidoscopes, magic mirrors, light meters, flash units, and many other things.
