Worst regrowth - pretty much everywhere - is in the gullies and the south facing slopes. Some parts of ridge tops have been bad, but for scrub, Wollemi is generally better than Morton or the Nattai in any case.

Ha, Ha, Ha.
Just because TT mentions it? That seems a very questionable reason. Maybe TT should be taken out and disposed of?
Yes, Gospers is a cow paddock, and what water there is tends to be a bit cow-muddy.
There are many ways to get there, but I am not going to give any directions. See the bit in pink at the top here. What I will say is that the scrub can be bad in places, and worse in other places. Water is not plentiful. We have had 40+ C in mid-summer.

(I do not know off-hand how many times I have been over Gospers. Maybe six times, or more, but always en-route to somewhere else.)

But I noticed that no WA mountains are included ... peak baggers in WA would be up in arms about it

Interesting to go through the list.

And what do they mean by "Ben Lomond"? That is the name of the plateau - which has three Abels and numerous lesser peaks - and the NP, which includes Ragged Jack. Ben Lomond is not an individual mountain.

But surely a few peaks in the Stirling Ranges at least should have made it! Hardly remote or lacking visitors.
