Travel aimlessly in Australian state over November, knocking back wine (6)
I believe the answer is:
wander
'travel aimlessly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'australian state over november knocking back wine' is the wordplay.
'australian state' becomes 'wa' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'australian' bit.).
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'knocking back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'wine' becomes 'red wine' (red is a type of wine).
'red' in reverse letter order is 'der'.
'wa'+'n'+'der'='WANDER'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wander that I've seen before include "Move about aimlessly" , "Go to and fro" , "Meander" , "Go from place to place without a settled route" , "Stray" .)
