Is is possible to modify the UK door handles to fit Australian wind up windowed doors?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Can you not find an Australian handle?
Or you just like the English ones better?

Sliding window handles will look different. Shorter and curved. Here is a link to one Jim Aldridge posted on FB. https://m.facebook.com/story/graphql_pe ... IxNDQ0OTM5

You need to shorten the shaft.
Drill a new hole for the split pin.
Swap the external bezel.

They are getting very hard to find. If you have no luck with the various mini businesses or from wanted adds then I would recommend looking for a complete rusty door / car on Gumtree or Facebook then see if they will remove the handle and post it.
