Bill,
The latest word I have from my sleuthing about CBs in the US is that VWJessie (female), who first posted to AVD March 27th, is the owner of Randy's KO 273 restoration.
Jessie's post:

Randy states in a Samba thread she previously lived in Arizona and bought the car from him. She then moved to Chico, California, which is in northern CA. She verifies what he says in the thread about the car.
I found an Aussie Country Buggy

See page #2
So now we know where this formerly "lost" CB is although we aren't having any luck communicating with the owner. She was a first time poster at The Samba in the thread, so apparently isn't tuned in to the daily or even intermittent exchanges at VW forums which have a specific interest in CBs. Jessie lives about 3 hours drive from Wendy Kircher (KO 519) and Randy is trying to get them to hook up for shows, etc. These are probably the best examples of CBs in the US (among the best anywhere IMO) and are owned by two women who live relatively close together.....i.e., the math reveals 20% of the known CBs in the US are owned by women.
Any women own CBs in Oz???
Regards,
Steve
