Way back in the early 1980s a friend and I decided to lilo/walk the Wollangambe all the way to the Colo River. The going got progressively scrubbier, and after four days we realised that we had no chance of making it within the 9 days allotted, so we bailed out. But I can tell you that we encountered no abseils or large jumps on the stretch that we did, nor was our exit difficult (although I no longer remember exactly where our exit was).

As for passes, there are quite a few, and some in quite obvious spots. The one at the end of what you probably consider Wollangambe 4 is probably the easiest pass anywhere around there. The location is really obvious on the topo map.
It's a great area to explore, but give yourself enough time to find a pass. The exploration is a big part of the fun, so it's not appropriate to give away too much given it's a wilderness area.

Guessing the jammed log that you used to get down the tricky bit might have gone in the Feb 2020 floods?!
