I have been invited to spend a day at Swan Gully 4X4 Park south west of Brisbane, west of the Gold Coast on New Year's Day to test the Forester to see what its limits are in the bush. I've never been there and I can't find any video of Subaru activity at the park and I'm wondering if anyone has visited there and could give me a bit of intel.
From what I can find, it has lots of different bush tracks, graded from easy to expert and it would appear that there are very few unmodified 4X4s taking it on. Some of the tracks are super extreme and the terrain seems to be really rocky.
Seeing we haven't had any significant rainfall for the last couple of weeks I doubt there'll be much mud and certainly no sand so it's likely to be a tough day for a Subaru. I'm going along with a "real 4 wheel drive" and the owner has invited me to get "this Subaru thing" out of my system and get a decent vehicle. He has even offered to pay the $40 entry fee so I have no excuse.
Any advice???
