In America, check a pipe for crack producing pool of water? (9)
I believe the answer is:
billabong
'pool of water?' is the definition.
'billabong' can be an answer for 'pool' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'of water?' bit.
'in america check a pipe for crack' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'america' could be 'a' (common abbreviation eg in USA) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'check' could be 'bill' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'bill' is located in the answer.
'pipe' could be 'bong' (I've seen this before) and 'bong' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'producing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for billabong that I've seen before include "Australian channel" , "Australian backwater -- no big ball (anag)" , "flooded channel in Oz" , "watercourse down under" , "Branch of an Australian river formed by an overflow" .)
