In a gully that's sheltered from the wind, what more do you want than a rain-proof roof so that you don't need to carry a tent?

I wouldn't want to share a camping cave with a bunch of 30 scouts, but the great thing about a place like Mt Solitary is that there is not a finite number of rooms. One can always find some type of rock ledge to shelter under, it's just that the floor will be more lumpy and more sloping if all the best spots are taken.
I have identified a usable camping cave near singa-jinga-well creek, so now I have an alternative to the closed caves in Chinamans Gully. Some time I hope to spend a few days up there exploring, to find a few more "out of the way" cave options.

Can anyone tell me
1. Whether there are decent campsites in the immediate Chinamans Gully area which are not prohibited by this new rule?
2. Is water reliable at the top of Chinamans Gully this time of year (any reports from recent visits would be particularly appreciated).
