Prising the lid off troublesome Aussie's beer cooler (4)
I believe the answer is:
esky
'cooler' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esky that I've seen before include "Portable drinks chiller (Australian)" , "Aussie container" , "It may help to keep cool" , "Cooler" .)
