Volunteer recalled getaway for Melburnians (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'getaway for melburnians' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'volunteer recalled' is the wordplay.
'volunteer' becomes 'enrol' (I've seen this in another clue).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'enrol' written backwards gives 'LORNE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lorne that I've seen is " Square Scottish sausage".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
