Sad news, I just heard that Barry Jones (Mr Haflinger) importer of the Haflinger (and Pinzgauer) into Australia in the 60's, 70's and early 80's, died about a week ago (mid December 2014).
I'II remember fondly my times chatting to Barry about Haflingers and Pinzgauers ......he certainly told some good stories about those old days!

Re: Sad News re Barry Jones (Mr Haflinger in Australia)
Oh no, this is a sad news! I hope he rests in peace.
Maybe he has left behind some interesting historic material, such as photos etc. from his Haflinger/Pinzgauer days? It would be a shame if those things get thrown away. Can you maybe try to get in contact with his family?
Kind regards,
Constantin
