Bracanna

Bracanna is nestled along the shores of Livingstone Bay in south-eastern Budibella and is Jarraban’s third largest city. Home to over 480,000 inhabitants, it was founded in 1822 and became Budibella’s capital in 1924 when the Territory of Royston was established. Its name derives from a Goarra word believed to mean “gentle winds”, referring to frequent local sea breezes.

During the mid 19th century, the city became a centre for whaling and ship construction. The regression of both industries transformed it into a major manufacturing hub housing numerous food processing, machinery, textile and chemical plants. These have since been largely replaced by services and financial institutions, with Bracanna’s economic output the third largest of all Jarrabanian cities. Many visitors are allured by nearby Stanford Falls and the city’s bohemian culture.
