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

'travelling in parts of austria' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'frenchman in range rover is heard' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'frenchman' could be 'm' (abbreviation for Monsieur - like 'Mr') and 'm' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'range' is 'geran' which is located in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
