Hurries up, penniless in the island (10)

I believe the answer is:

stradbroke

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

'the island' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'hurries up penniless' is the wordplay.
'hurries' becomes 'darts' (darting is a kind of hurrying).
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'penniless' becomes 'broke' (I've seen this before).
'darts' in reverse letter order is 'strad'.
'strad'+'broke'='STRADBROKE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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