Aussie jumper’s time to get somewhere to sleep (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roost

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

'somewhere to sleep' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'aussie jumper's time' is the wordplay.
'aussie jumper' becomes 'roos' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'time' becomes 't'.
'roos'+'t'='ROOST'

'to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roost that I've seen before include "Thin paper" , "Rest on a perch" , "In Orkney, the current" , "Settle down (on a branch?)" , "Hen's resting place" .)
