Re Aussie Cooler fan - I inherited it from my father, and I'm pretty sure he got it from one of those mail order catalogues which sell some wacky and sometimes neat gadgets and inverntions you don't see anywhere else.   I just looked up Magnamail which is one and has an on-line prescence but didn't see one there. ( I did find a pooper scooper without bending though if you're in the market for it. :)
Did a search on Google and no joy.  Sorry guys, maybe mine is a museum piece.
