Smallest continent (9)

I believe the answer is:

australia

'smallest continent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for australia that I've seen before include "Derby winner" , "USA lariat found down under" , "Oz" , "Norfolk and Christmas Islands belong to it" , "English speaking nation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
