Local areaEdit
Berrilee is a small town, without any "stores", to speak. There is one small store near Berowra Waters and another in Arcadia. There was a primary school, but due to a lack of students (there were less than seven), it closed down in 1957.[3] It re-opened shortly after but closed down and the property was sold in 2005.[4]
