I do have a solution for you, however the Malone SteelStop Roof Rack # MPG201 referenced in your question will only attach to raised factory rails with a gap underneath and won't work well with the flush rails on your New Zealand Subaru Outback Wagon. There is not a traditional roof rack system available that is designed to mount to the flush rails on your vehicle.
Your best option for installing a roof rack on your Outback Wagon is with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This unique system simply mounts to the roof with its 6 vacuum cups for an extremely secure connection that is easy to install and remove. It features a weight capacity of 150 pounds.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations that you can also check out.
