meanders

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'goes here and there' is the definition.
'meanders' can be an answer for 'goes' (meandering is a kind of going). I'm unsure of the 'here and there' bit.

'man's deer aimlessly' is the wordplay.
'aimlessly' indicates an anagram (the letters rearranged chaotically or aimlessly).
'mans'+'deer'='mansdeer'
'mansdeer' anagrammed gives 'MEANDERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meanders that I've seen before include "Wanders about with no fixed destination" , "Wanders in leisurely, winding way" , "Wanders aimlessly" , "Wanders on a winding course" , "Aimlessly ambles on a winding course" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
