Courier mail cryptic crossword solutions

A challenge!

The Courier-Mail is a daily newspaper in Brisbane, Australia, and its cryptic crossword is a popular feature. I'd be happy to help you with the solutions. Please provide the clues you're stuck on, and I'll do my best to decipher them for you.

If you don't have the specific clues, you can also provide the following information:

1. The date of the crossword (if you have it)
2. The level of difficulty (e.g., easy, medium, hard)
3. The section of the crossword (e.g., general knowledge, themed, etc.)

Once I have this information, I'll do my best to provide the solutions for you.
