Roy gone around Victorian valley? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latrobe

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

'victorian valley?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'roy gone around' is the wordplay.
'roy' becomes 'rob' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gone' becomes 'late' (both can mean dead).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'rob' going inside 'late' is 'LATROBE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for latrobe that I've seen is " university in Victoria".)

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