Treated greasy bit of Australia (4,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
girt by sea
'australia' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'treated greasy bit' is the wordplay.
'treated' is an anagram indicator.
'greasy'+'bit'='greasybit'
'greasybit' with letters rearranged gives 'GIRT BY SEA'.
'of' 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?
