Berrilee sits on the western shore of Berowra Creek, which empties into the Hawkesbury River.
Berrilee is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word 'Buraillee' possibly having something to do with mouth or food.[2]

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]
