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

'off? desire for southern tip of continent?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'about to exercise? food go' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'about' could be 'of' and 'of' is found within the answer.
'exercise?' could be 'pe' (Physical Education) and 'pe' is found in the answer.
'food' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'go' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
