Australia

Australia (officially the Commonwealth of Australia) is a sovereign state located in the continent of Oceania. As a former British colony and current member of the Commonwealth, Australia has a close relationship with the United Kingdom, which explains why it is a popularly-mentioned destination in Emmerdale. The capital city of Australia is Canberra but the most populous city is Sydney. 
The spin-off special, The Dingles Down Under takes place in Australia and introduces on the Dingles' Australian relatives.
