Tree fruit for a NSW Central Coast beach party (7)
I believe the answer is:
avocado
'tree' is the definition.
(I know that avocado is a type of fruit tree)
'fruit for a nsw central coast beach party' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'central' could be 'c' (common abbreviation in various government acronyms) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'party' could be 'do' (do is a kind of party) and 'do' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avocado that I've seen before include "Fruit with large stone" , "Savoury pear" , "Evergreen" , "slightly green" , "Green - fruit eaten as a vegetable" .)
