A noted pain troubling native far, far away (10)

I believe the answer is:

antipodean

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

'native far far away' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a noted pain troubling' is the wordplay.
'troubling' indicates an anagram (letters damaged or in trouble).
'noted'+'pain'='notedpain'
'notedpain' is an anagram of 'ntipodean'.
'a'+'ntipodean'='ANTIPODEAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antipodean that I've seen before include "coming from Perth" , "as far away as possible" , "from NZ?" , "Brit's description of Aussie" , "From Australia and New Zealand" .)
