What was Treffen Oz 2
"Treffen" is a German word meaning....A gathering of like minded souls, and TREFFEN OZ 2 was exactly that!
A relatively small number of Haflinger and Pinzgauer enthusiasts from around Australia (and one from Austria) gathered in September 2002 for a 10 day event to enjoy the pleasure of driving and experiencing these vehicles in a manner in which they were designed to be used.

Treffen Oz 2
Latitude South 37 34 Latitude East 145 39
In the last week of September 2002, Haflinger and Pinzgauer owners gathered in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia for the second Australian "Treffen".
A Treffen is a German word meaning "A gathering of like minded soles" and while Haflinger and Pinzgauer Treffens are regularly held in Europe and the UK this was only our second in Australia.
Two Pinzgauers (all 712, 6X6's) six Haflingers and nine non Steyr Puch vehicles attended.
One person from Austria came and a whole "heap" from all around Australia (well, Victoria, NSW and South Australia).
We began the Treffen in Crystal Brook SA and proceeded over the next week to drive to the most northern point of the Flinders Ranges.................... during that time we drove around 1000 km.
I "think" everybody enjoyed themselves (I know I did) and plans are now in the offing to have another Treffen in Oz in 2004.
The initial meeting was at the "Treffen Meisters" place of abode, north of Adelaide
The whole trip was brilliantly planned and meals were all catered for at a minimal cost.
"Briefing the troops" before departing on our adventure.
Just a little bit down the road and a lot greener than the country we would encounter later in the week.
A typical Flinders Ranges picture.
There are some magnificent spots in the area...
...and scenes!
The country was very dry, more so this year as Australia is experiencing a severe drought.
We stayed at various properties in the Flinders Ranges and at night we enjoyed "winding down" around the campfire.
The scenery was magnificent....
....despite the drought
