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

'simple vehicle' is the definition.
'wagon' can be an answer for 'vehicle' (wagon is a kind of vehicle). I'm unsure of the 'simple' bit.

'lasts from new guinea flying into darwin' is the wordplay.
'lasts from' indicates one should take the final letters (I've seen 'last from' mean this).
The final letters of 'new guinea flying into darwin' are 'WAGON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
