The Big Camera Museum of Photography in Meckering, Western Australia, run by Mr CL Wadley. Meckering is a town of about 265 people, and famous for this strong earthquake in 1968. A vast and impressive selection of analogue photographic gear, worth a visit if you are passing through.

Of course, it's not just the wildlife in Australia that wants you dead. Even before you face the fauna you have to endure the environmental hazards.
Such as Earthquakes.
The Meckering Earthquake of October 1968, for example, wasn't even Australia's biggest, but was felt as far away as Perth, Albany, and Geraldton, and opened a surface rupture 40km long and 3m high
It also played merry hell with the only train line to the eastern states.
