This clue is by a novice setter, and thus may be a challenge (it is to me anyway) . .

This bird comes out of a duel with the old dart (7)

Don't have an answer yet but "old dart" can mean "old country" (home)

I thought the "old dart" = UK.
Can't come up with any decent answer myself!

Now can anyone explain that, because I am completely stumped

The Old Dart is Oz slang for England and a Phoenix emerges from the Ashes- a duel with the Old Dart?
