Somewhere in Oz small outlaw tucked into cheese (8)
I believe the answer is:
brisbane
'somewhere in oz' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'small outlaw tucked into cheese' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'outlaw' becomes 'ban' (banning is a kind of outlawing).
'tucked into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cheese' becomes 'brie' (Brie is an example).
's'+'ban'='sban'
'sban' put inside 'brie' is 'BRISBANE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brisbane that I've seen before include "Sabre nib found in a city down under" , "There be bairns in Australia" , "Aussie location" , "Strange bairns be in Oz" , "City in Queensland" .)
