'female chasing large rough' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'australian marsupial in changing facilities' is the wordplay.
'australian' becomes 'ocker' (I've seen this before).
'marsupial' becomes 'roo' (short for kangaroo).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'changing facilities' becomes 'lms' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ocker'+'roo'='ockerroo'
'ockerroo' inserted into 'lms' is 'LOCKER ROOMS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
