17 ac. Song about northern Australia backing state (7).
I have A - I - D - A, My last clue, so grateful for any help.

ARIZONA - (AIR + N OZ)

Many thanks Brendan. I had creed rather than credo.

Can anyone help with the parsing for these.....

16a. One who invests in accommodation for livestock, say (5) - BUYER? (One who invests)

11d. Sweetheart shortly taking volunteers round Burlington House (9) INAMORATA (Sweetheart)

I see TA for 'Volunteers', but not much else.

21d. Cheat, showing greater astuteness (7) - SHARPER would fit the 'Astuteness' part but 'SCALPER would better fit the 'Cheat' part.

26d. Major finally feeding fellow soldier's dog (5) - CORGI

I think it's majo(R) + GI (Fellow soldier) but can't see where the CO comes from, unless Major is doing double duty and it's C(ommanding) O(fficer)?

51d. Asian national's appeal over break with colonisers? (5) - SAUDI (Asian national)

Buyer sounds like byre Cow house. Sharp
As in card sharp cheat

I've just got 51d. It's Appeal = SA + UDI (Break with colonisers).

Fellow soldier = co gi??

i think the royal academy (RA) is located at Burlington House. could account for 2 more letters.

Shortly. =. In a mo. TA =. Volunteers This leaves ra possibly short for Royal Academy
