| History/Origin | This south western Litchfield Shire locality derives its name from Berry Creek, named by Goyder in 1870, after his Chief Draftsman, Edwin S Berry, a member of Goyder's 1869 Survey Expedition to Port Darwin. Berry went ashore on the first boat from the Moonta with George Goyder. The area known today as Berry Springs was originally shown by Surveyor Gilbert R McMinn on his plan of 1869 as Kangaroo Falls with the wording Recommended for Reserve. Edwin Creek at Humpty Doo also bears Berry's name. |
