I wander back to see Antipodean people (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maori

'antipodean people' is the definition.

'i wander back' is the wordplay.
'wander' becomes 'roam' ('roam' can be a synonym of 'wander').
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'i'+'roam'='iroam'
'iroam' reversed gives 'MAORI'.

'to see' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for maori that I've seen before include "Polynesian aboriginal" , "native person" , "NZ aboriginal" , "Aboriginal New Zealander" , "A native from the south" .)
