If you see an old type 3 beater parked on Ewart Street, that's me! Feel free to kick the tyres.
Just in case you haven't seen it already and you like this kind of thing,
http://www.pictureaustralia.org 
(australian government picture archives)
returns cool image results for a 'volkswagen' search.
And pretty cool results for a 'volkswagon' search, too.
You'll see archival pics including the Clayton, Victoria plant assembly lines. You might even see your own vw getting bolted together!:P
