About BERRIMA

Berrima and environs was once occupied by Aborigines of the Dharawal tribe, who provided the town's name, said to mean to the south. An ex-convict, John Wilson, led the first European party through the district in 1798. The town was established around a village green in the manner of an English village. Markets held there later attracted sellers from all over the district. In 1842 the village was depicted as being primitive with slab and bark huts. Sandstone buildings were also erected and some of these handsome structures are still standing today, including the local courthouse and Berrima Jail. The first two inns were built in 1834 and both still stand (the Surveyor-General Inn has never lost its license).

The railway arrived in the 1860s, however it bypassed Berrima and the village has remained virtually unchanged since 1890. In the 1960s the historic value was recognised and many of the old buildings were restored. The National Heritage Council has declared the entire village to be an historic precinct.

Berrima is widely recognised today as the best preserved example of a Georgian village on the Australian mainland. There are many handicraft, antique and local produce shops in the village.
