Southern Climes article with hints about poetry (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antipodes

'southern climes' is the definition.
(the Antipodes are Australia and New Zealand)

'article with hints about poetry' is the wordplay.
'article with' becomes 'an' (indefinite article. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'hints' becomes 'tips' ('tip' can be a synonym of 'hint').
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'poetry' becomes 'ode' (I've seen this before).
'tips' enclosing 'ode' is 'tipodes'.
'an'+'tipodes'='ANTIPODES'

(Other definitions for antipodes that I've seen before include "Australia and New Zealand, to Britain" , "Australia and New Zealand viewed from Europe" , "Exact opposites" , "Australasia?" , "Diametrically opposite location" .)
