'''Berrilee''' is a semi-rural outer [suburb](/source/suburb) of [Sydney](/source/Sydney), in the state of [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales), [Australia](/source/Australia). Berrilee is located 38 kilometres north of the [Sydney central business district](/source/Sydney_central_business_district), in the [local government area](/source/Local_government_in_Australia) of [Hornsby Shire](/source/Hornsby_Shire).

==History==
Berrilee is believed to be derived from an [Aboriginal](/source/Indigenous_Australian) word 'Buraillee' possibly having something to do with ''mouth'' or ''food''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Traditional Aboriginal Names for the Regions and Features in The Hills Shire|url=http://www.thehills.nsw.gov.au/IgnitionSuite/uploads/docs/Traditional%20Aboriginal%20Names%20Baulkham%20Hills%20Shire.pdf|work=[The Hills Shire](/source/The_Hills_Shire)|accessdate=6 November 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120920000748/http://www.thehills.nsw.gov.au/IgnitionSuite/uploads/docs/Traditional%20Aboriginal%20Names%20Baulkham%20Hills%20Shire.pdf|archivedate=20 September 2012}}</ref>

==Local area==
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.<ref>{{cite web|title=Berrilee Public School|url=http://dictionaryofsydney.org/organisation/berrilee_public_school|website=dictionaryofsydney.org|accessdate=20 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161120213926/http://dictionaryofsydney.org/organisation/berrilee_public_school|archive-date=20 November 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> It re-opened shortly after but closed down and the property was sold in 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/agency/6612 |title=Berrliee Public School |access-date=7 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181107185329/https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/agency/6612 |archive-date=7 November 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>
