I believe the answer is:

ayr

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

'some queensland town' is the definition.
'ayr' can be an answer for 'town' (I have seen 'Scottish town ' mean 'ayr' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'ayr'). I am not sure about the 'some queensland' bit.

'yesterday ray martin in' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AYR' is hidden in the letters of 'yesterday ray martin'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ayr that I've seen before include "Scots. town; sounds like song" , "Race course" , "Scottish town sounds tuneful" , "Scottish salmon river" , "Scottish resort" .)

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