Please help me in parsing this cryptic clue -
" Spot Australian well stocked with Ecstasy in spree (8)"

Is the definition spot and anagram indicator is in spree? Ecstasy is E, Australian may be AU or OZ, but still unable to get a satisfactory answer. Pease help me.

3 letter spot and then 4 letter Australian well with an E in there gives you a spree

Thanks candledave for giving me the guidance. Now I am able to get the word.

Please help me in parsing/ solving this cryptic clue -
"Bar travelling couples, primarily, in bus (6,5)"

It’s an anagram of parts. Bar is the definition.

Still I am unable to crack it. I thought of PUBLIC HOUSE, anagram of couples + BUS. Was not sure where I and H come from? What happens to the extra S? What is the role of "primarily" and "in bus"?

Ah, I looked too quickly. At first glance it seemed to be an anagram of couples + bus + i(n), but you are correct as that gives an extra S and no H.
Hmm…
