Islander cheers Welsh girl entertaining crew (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tasmanian

'islander' is the definition.
(someone from Tasmania)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for tasmanian that I've seen before include "Islander" , "Ferocious Australian marsupial" , "Aussie statesman" , "From one Australian state" , "of island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
