If you know the name of the boat on which your car is coming you can follow its progress using app FindShip (two versions Pro and Lite). I upgraded to the Pro version. If the car is manufactured in Germany, it most likely will be shipped from Bremmerhaven. It takes about 39 days to Sydney (having called in at Durban, Freemantle and Melbourne) then to Brisbane.
According to Austrade, a car carrier leaves Bremmerhaven for Australia every 18 days. So in theory, if you know when the car rolls off production, add a day or two for transport to Bremmerhaven, then search the car carriers. I think VW use the same company.
Again knowing the boat name, you can look at the port schedule (e.g. Freemantle, Melbourne, Sydney=Port Kembla) to see the estimated time of arrival and departure once the boat is within a few days of arrival.
Enjoy your new VW.
