Your question over at the other Bushwalking forum is only going to get responses such as 'the Pipeline Track to Glen Davis is now off limits due to (new) property owner relinquishing access'.

I have walked Newnes to various fire trails off the Putty Rd with my LandCare group.. AFAIK, there are no breaks in the cliffline on the N side of the Wolgan River that one can ascend. My more experienced companions have never mentioned it was doable either.
I was surprised to see your question - I got the impression from other posts you may have known that the canyons are not reversable. By way of example, the 'new' canyon called Exit Canyon has a 42m abseil, or so it is said over at the OzCanyons Yahoo chat page thingy.

To your Q here at Chocky, the Lithgow Tourism Office may help. Or maybe a ranger from NPWS needs help in the Wolgan with a project? An ad on Gumtree?

If you are just wanting to do 'something' in wilderness, I am going out for a few days in mid-June to ascend an un-named mountain/ridge before rapping back through a broad slot/chimney to camp on a Colo River beach. You (or anybody else capable) would be welcome. I already have gear stashed there, incl. an 80m static.
