Berry is a small Australian town in the Shoalhaven region in the state of New South Wales. It was part of a land grant to Alexander Berry. It lies on the South Coast Railway, and on the Princes Highway between Nowra and Kiama. Today, Berry thrives on tourism and its streets are filled with souvenir shops, arts shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels.
Its original name was Broughton Creek at the head of this creek and around which much of Alexander Berry's Shoalhaven business developed. The Tannery and Sawmills were central to this.
