The local chamber of commerce named Berry 'The Town of Trees' because of the extensive stands of English oaks, elms and beech trees planted by settlers in the 1800s. Many still stand today, giving the town a distinctly English feel. Berry is a popular weekend destination for Sydneysiders searching for bargains in the antique and craft shops and enjoying the laid-back atmosphere. With the Cambewarra ranges as its backdrop, Berry is the first truly rural town south of Sydney.
