Blue Mountains centre has an old town in the meadow (5)
I believe the answer is:
leura
'blue mountains centre' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'an old town in the meadow' is the wordplay.
'an old town' becomes 'ur' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'meadow' becomes 'lea' (a lea is a grassy area).
'ur' going into 'lea' is 'LEURA'.
'has' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
