Spilled his ale? Some Aussie girl? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheila

'some aussie girl?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'spilled his ale?' is the wordplay.
'spilled' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'ale'='hisale'
'hisale' is an anagram of 'SHEILA'.

(Other definitions for sheila that I've seen before include "Aussie lady?" , "Informally, a girl or woman in Australia" , "Girl's name; Six down (anag.)" , "Australian girl or woman" , "Girl's name (any Oz girl?)" .)

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