6 month stay - visa and flight questions...help

Hey,

Just curious if anyone here could offer some advice or insight into my current situation. Im an australian citizen and im planning to stay with my Austrian girlfriend for 6 months next year. Apparently our countries have some agreement where i can stay for 3 months visa free, leave, then re enter for a further 3 months. Does anyone know if this is accurate or have they attempted this before? My girlfriend said we could just travel to Croatia for a few days then head back, but she is also slightly unsure about this. Im also going to be booking a 6 month flight, arriving and departing from Vienna which also concerns me given the 3 month stay, like should i be concerned that i will be turned away by immigration or would it be satisfactory considering im not spending all my time in Austria, at least a straight 6 months.

So yeah, if anyone can offer some advice it would be appreciated by a confused and worried australian.
