Traveller's joy: bar, and models cavorting (3,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old mans beard

'traveller's joy' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bar and models cavorting' is the wordplay.
'cavorting' is an anagram indicator.
'bar'+'and'+'models'='barandmodels'
'barandmodels' anagrammed gives 'OLD MANS BEARD'.

(Other definitions for old mans beard that I've seen before include "Spanish moss - traveller's joy - bad red salmon (anag)" , "that grows up fast" , "growth on dad?" , "Climbing plant" , "Wild clematis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
