Crossword Genius

Expected around noon, daughter in New Zealand city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dunedin

'new zealand city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'expected around noon daughter in' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (I've seen this before).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'noon' becomes 'n'.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'due' enclosing 'n' is 'dune'.
'dune'+'d'+'in'='DUNEDIN'

(Other definitions for dunedin that I've seen before include "City in NZ" , "New Zealand location" , "NZ South Island port" , "New Zealand port" , "New Zealand city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
