Haul back organ for traveller in strange places (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gulliver

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

'traveller in strange places' is the definition.
'gulliver' can be an answer for 'traveller' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'in strange places' bit.

'haul back organ' is the wordplay.
'haul' becomes 'lug' (I've seen this in another clue).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'organ' becomes 'liver' (liver is a kind of organ).
'lug' in reverse letter order is 'gul'.
'gul'+'liver'='GULLIVER'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gulliver that I've seen before include "Dean Swift's travelling man" , "Lilliput visitor" , "Swift man" , "Dean Swift's fictional traveller" .)
