Apparently the walk in can be cutoff by high waters. But whatever, that should be fine. You can find details of the walk in Chapman's walking in SW tasmania or similar named book, he goes into a lot of detail. And if it's raining in the early part, you can still spend a miserable day scoping/confirming the walk in and start i guess. I think depending on which walk-in you use and how fast you are, you can be up around and down in ... 3 days? so 7 is good I'd say. (if you're doing it between mid january-early march, which is when the best/longest periods of good weather occur)
I've only met one person who has managed to meet chapman's estimated walking times that he lists, just for your information.
There is climbing in the Tyndall ranges (photo above lake huntley around on the net) which probably isn't as hard as getting to feders, but perhaps you can scope out articles about how they found climbing there...
