Having some correspondence with figure representing North America in Australia (9)
I believe the answer is:
analogous
'having some correspondence' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'figure representing north america in australia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'figure' could be 'l' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'north' could be 'n' (abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
'america' could be 'us' (United States) and 'us' is found in the answer.
'australia' could be 'a' (abbreviation for Australia) and 'a' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for analogous that I've seen before include "show correspondence" , "similar" , "Eg, mastic" , "corresponding" , "Comparable in certain respects" .)
