Hi! c. 'Australia' is NOT c. 'Feuerzauber'!
The canna known as 'Australia' is an 'Italian' Group cultivar, while 'Feuerzauber' is of the smaller 'Crozy' Group cultivars.
You can also check this link: http://cannanews.blogspot.com/2008/12/revisiting-canna-feuer...
The canna also known as 'Tropicanna Black' is also more likely to be no other than c.'Feuerzauber' as well.
If you grow all differing varieties, as I know all have been trialled in Australia, the only one differring amongst 'Australia', 'Feuerzauber', 'Red King Humbert', 'Tropicanna Black', 'Prince of Burgundy' IS 'Australia'.
You can also check this link, to which I contributed one of the questions: http://www.cannas-australia.com/canna-tropicanna-black.html

Cheers & hope this adds to your data base. Dianne 'Fleu De Lis Canna' Australia
