No you need a Toyota Landcruise with BF Goodridge tyres, a Engle fridge, EFS
suspension, GME
uhf radio and Lightforce spot lights..... and a big antenna on the bull bar!
A Forester will go most place if not
all places a current 4X4 will go, they have low range and good ground clearance.
The only thing I would do is look at tyres and get something that is not so much road orientated.

Yes you can, there are a couple of hills on the
Border Track that may trouble you, the rest of the
park should be fine in the Suby.

Agree GB stay clear of the
Border track unless the Subie has a lift kit.

If you are looking at doing the Baan
Hill track from
Lameroo to Keith then a Forester will be fine, don't worry about the
Border Track as that is some way from the Baan
Hill track, the biggest problem is there is one section of clay that is VERY slippery when wet, about 5Kms into the track from memory.
There is an excellent book called Mallee Tracks which has very detailed trip notes on this track plus many more in the region.
