Australian young woman (6)

I believe the answer is:

sheila

(Other definitions for sheila that I've seen before include "Woman in Australian slang" , "Woman (Aus. colloq.)" , "Aussie lady?" , "16 down's girl" , "Informal Australian girl - could be Irish" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
