'successful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'kelly's record is revoked' is the wordplay.
'kelly' becomes 'ned' (outlaw Ned Kelly).
'record' becomes 'log' (log is a kind of record).
'is revoked' is a reversal indicator (revoke means to take back).
'ned'+'log'='nedlog'
'nedlog' in reverse letter order is 'GOLDEN'.

'in australia' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
