Beautiful. Once you've had your fun with it, I bet that the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney or else Museum Victoria, both of which are strong public institutional collectors of Australian industry, would love it.
We had a Turner like that when I was a small boy. I remember the hand crank. My dad was always repairing it. Eventually he got so frustrated with it that he chucked it - it would be 80ft down in the Northcote tip.
