History

The locality takes its name from a local gully name. There are a number of stories about the name of the gully. One story is that in mid-nineteenth century a cask of sherry fell from a wagon into the gully, with the word sherry being corrupted later to cherry.[2] In another story, carriers stopped at the gully and drank sherry from the cargo to excess and again the word sherry was corrupted to cherry.[3] The other story is that the gully has many wild cherry trees.[4]
