I'm a bit suss on it personally so I got some from the Old River which is a short distance upstream but wasn't flowing until a fair way up the trib.
Edit: just to be a bit clearer. Day 1 I carried water from the car as I started late and it was cold so no big deal. Day 2 I got water from Old River, but only because I was walking up it to the falls. It's not a convenient spot to get water for the Bears Head camp. Plus, the Lerderderg river is right there.

Park at the end of Lohs Lane then walk along Blackwood ranges track continuing around the reference area until you get on Bears Head which is a spur down to the river with a couple of little scrambles. I camped here. In the morning I left my gear, crossed the river and just upstream followed the Old River a bit under 2km (No track but some footpads) to the falls. Then I just walked out how I came in. The full version you climb straight out of the gully at the falls off track to Hogan then complete the circuit by Ah Kow track.
The Old River is a beautiful green gully atm but not much water at the falls (I put a pic in the some waterfalls of Vic thread)
