Berowra is located 40 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Hornsby Shire.

History

It was thought that Berowra was an Aboriginal word that means place of many winds.^[2] However, it actually means 'place of many shells' referring to the many shell middens on Berowra Creek.
