A few pointers.

Don't anchor off the block that sits on top of the peak.
Anchor from an equalised anchor stemming from the bolts on the Grose side.
Consider a back up line back up hanging rock to a tree.
Rope protectors help.
Try two ropes joined to an anchor, that is below the rock itself
Either drop a line for ascension after each swing, or (requires more initial effort) set up a pulley system in the bush behind the jump point so that swingers can be hauled up from a really long trailing line (more can go wrong)
Be careful - a small slip up can lead to a cut rope, falling off lost gear.
Ride in on a bike - its quick and fun
Have fun
Being the guy who sets it up is scary on the first jump.
