Confounded Newtonian liquid Wotan dumped in town (10)

I believe the answer is:

deniliquin

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

'town' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'confounded newtonian liquid wotan dumped' is the wordplay.
'confounded' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dumped' suggests deleting specific letters.
'newtonian'+'liquid'='newtonianliquid'
'newtonianliquid' with 'wotan' taken away is 'eninliquid'.
'eninliquid' is an anagram of 'DENILIQUIN'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
