The Arm River Track is definitely the most direct route into new Pelion at about 4 hours (and is a good track to boot - just a bit steep near the beginning). The start of this track is quite a long way from the Walls though, so this may not be what your friend means.

The Never Never is a great walk if you have a couple of extra days up your sleeve. I've not done the walk from the Walls to Junction Lake, but I've done the Never Never itself, (via Moses Creek track, I think?) from Junction Lake to Hartnett Falls then to new Pelion. It's a lot longer than the Arm River or Lees Paddocks routes, though, and requires a few days to do a circuit or through route. If you have enough time, the Never Never is a beautiful walk. However, there is no track to follow a lot of the way, and although the route is not difficult to follow even without a track, you would need to be reasonably experienced with navigation.

The tricky bit is when to cross the river (when the track on your side gets faint - and the one on the other side is better). Navigation is not too hard (you are after all staying close to a river - so its hard to get lost) - but it is hard to work out exactly how far you have gone (eg "are those the real McCoy Falls?" - there are quite a few small waterfalls along the way)
There are also high level alternatives - that are off track, but not too hard in terms of scrub or routefinding.
