Australian capital (8)

I believe the answer is:

canberra

'australian capital' is the definition.
(capital of Australia)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for canberra that I've seen before include "Strange crab near Australia" , "Capital - bomber - liner" , "Ban carer from this city" , "Australian capital - famous liner" , "Australian federal capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald and the King Feature Syndicate.
