I can comfortably admit I lack the testicular fortitude to do this.

For a first trip out Burramoko Buttress is fun. All Along the Wallaby Track was enjoyable, but is not everyone's cup o tea. I did miss the shale pitch lead (not entirely an accident). There are quite a few gear / mixed routes there. AAtWT basically follows the 'outside' of the crack which separates Hanging Rock from the 'mainland'. Or maybe that's Panic at Hanging Rock. Anyway, a few in the WW guide.

Second Ed. of the Carter/Pircher (or was it Pircher/Carter?) guide.

Sydney Rockies (or some shops) might still have copies of the "Rockclimbs in the Grose Valley" by Warwick Williams. There are now a few more routes than listed in the guide, but f---ed if I can remember the details. Maybe in late 1990's Rock editions.
