Judge cycling to obscure Australian location (9)
I believe the answer is:
fremantle
'judge cycling to obscure australian' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'location' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'location' could be 'mantle' (mantle is a kind of location) and 'mantle' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fremantle that I've seen before include "Australian port" , "Port near Perth (Australia)" , "port appears" , "City serving Perth, Australia as its port" .)
