Antipodean continent (9)
I believe the answer is:
australia
'antipodean continent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for australia that I've seen before include "Largest island in the world" , "big country" , "Test match players" , "Norfolk and Christmas Islands belong to it" , "A US lariat can be found in this country, strangely" .)
