'it's near geraldton' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'narrandera dubbo and elsewhere' is the wordplay.
'ERADU' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
