Fabulous flier from far Oceania (3)

I believe the answer is:

roc

'fabulous flier' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'from far oceania' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ROC' is hidden within 'far oceania'.

(Other definitions for roc that I've seen before include "Mythical bird; sounds like boulder" , "Fantastic bird" , "Vast bird of legend" , "Giant mythical bird" , "Large bird of legend" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
