Broome is a walled town located in Ruby territory on Deltora's east coast. It is a relatively young town, built upon the ruins of Capra after the former city was destroyed by Ruby dragons. Broome is a clean, tidy town of strong buildings and square white towers from which multicoloured flags are sometimes flown. Fishing boats are a common sight off the wild coast around the isolated city. The townsfolk of Broome are mostly descendants of castaways. They are generous hosts but are quick to take offence.
