Racket game that's only found in Australia (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dingo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'only found in australia' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'racket game' is the wordplay.
'racket' becomes 'din' (both can mean a loud noise or disturbance).
'game' becomes 'go' (go is a board game).
'din'+'go'='DINGO'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dingo that I've seen before include "Wild dog of Australia" , "Kipling's "Yellow-Dog"" , "Wild dog of Oz" , "Scavenger" , "Wild Australian dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
