I've got some solid advice regarding the use of Menai for you. The word is that you do have to be a member of a club that is also a member of the 4WD association.
Our NSW Subaru and Recreational 4WD Club (yeah, I know, it's a mouthful ain't it) is one such club. Membership for the year is only $60 which provides you with cover under the club's insurance, a regular magazine that details all trips and lots of other features, access to our forums and lots more. For me, another great reason is that the best 4WD insurance is cheaper and more comprehensive when you're a member of a 4WD club. Once a member, you can go to Menai whenever you like, but you will need to show your membership card and, therefore, you'd represent the clubs impeccable standard of ethics.
In the Menai park you're better of paying a $60 membership than a hefty fine when caught without. Regarding Subarus being able to go through there, one member reflected that he has been through there with both his lifted L-series and both his lifted Brumbys in the past.
The club's calendar shows a planned trip through there this coming Sunday 26th February and again on the 25th March, 2006 if you're interested.
I've got to say, EVERYONE (not just me) in the club would appreciate the company of more Subarus on trips - you can never see enough can you

'91 Sportswagon - 3" lifted, 14" speedys, 27" Nankangs + lots of small details improved. Wouldn't mind some extra grunt from an EJ.
