The locality is believed to have been named Waterhouse due to its proximity to Waterhouse Island, which was named after Captain Henry Waterhouse of the Reliance by Captain Matthew Flinders.[3]

Bass Strait forms the western and part of the northern boundaries. The Great Forester River forms part of the southern boundary.[4]

gollark: Fun fact: the new version does *not* handle it better.

gollark: I spammed it with a few thousand requests in a few seconds, and:- in the old version it just ignored two increments at once (node.js has a weird single-threaded event loop model...) (the ignoring did come with extra disk/CPU load though)- the version I took down would basically just spin for ages as all the transactions were queued- the new version should have a longer delay and work less badly

gollark: Good enough. Turning it back on.

gollark: It's under maintenence.

gollark: I could add a chatbox and skynet integration.
