Like a relative in Australia? (7)
I believe the answer is:
distant
'relative in australia?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'like a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present 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 distant that I've seen before include "Far away" , "Unfriendly; far off" , "overseas?" , "cool" , "Far apart in space or time" .)
