| Not a real island and so accessible by car or train in Sydney's northern suburbs, only a few kilometers from the City, it may well be one of the most attractive recreational parklands in Sydney even without its Aboriginal heritage. Its significance as an Aboriginal site adds enough value to make it an excellent destination for a day out. Bear in mind that rare aboriginal rock engravings are sometimes only visible for a sharp eye.The place is surprisingly clean and devoid of huge crowds. |

| UNKNOWN VISITOR wrote about Berry Island on 21-Mar-2011: |
Traditionally, Berry Island was a fishing, hunting and camping spot for Aborigines. The Aborigines would use to sleep and eat at Berry Island. Originally, Berry Island and the land it was attached to was owned by a man named Edward Wollstonecraft and Alexander Berry as a grant from Governor Macquarie. Berry Island was attached by a stone causeway over mudflats. When Edward passed away, Alexander was the only owner of Berry island and since has been named after him. It was in 1926 when Berry island was name a Public Recreational area as well as a natural reserve. In the 1960s the stone causeway had been transformed into a grassy area. Today, families and friends now picnic on the grass connecting to the mainland. There is also public access to toilets, playgrounds etc. just some info
