Wild coypu turn away from coast (9)

I believe the answer is:

upcountry

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

'away from coast' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'wild coypu turn' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coypu'+'turn'='coyputurn'
'coyputurn' is an anagram of 'UPCOUNTRY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for upcountry that I've seen is " inland".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
