About Eben Gowrie Waterhouse
- Eben Gowrie Waterhouse OBE CMG (1881–1977) was an Australian who had three distinguished careers.
- Starting out as an innovative teacher of languages, he became one of Australia's most prominent Germanists when classical German culture still commanded worldwide respect.
- Between the Wars in Sydney he was a leading arbiter of taste in house-and-garden living, fostering a conception of garden design which still dominates much of the Sydney North Shore and parts of Melbourne.
- Finally, in his long retirement he brought about, as scholar and plant-breeder, an international revival of interest in the genus Camellia.
