Eg Australian worker, chap with digital audio player (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antipodal

'eg australian' is the definition.
(the Antipodes can mean Australia and New Zealand)

'worker chap with digital audio player' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'chap' becomes 'Al' (man's name).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'digital audio player' becomes 'ipod' (Apple product).
'al' put after 'ipod' is 'ipodal'.
'ant'+'ipodal'='ANTIPODAL'

(Other definitions for antipodal that I've seen before include "Opposite" , "in NZ, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
