20A) Useless without pedal protection. (8)
bo???e?s
Have words in mind that fit the definition of useless and/or protection.
Just can't parse them.
ps: there is no xword number supplied.
parsing appreciated.

I think it is Bootless (useless)
Pedal protection being boots

Thanks Chrisg.
Thats a word I had in mind.
It now leaves me with a starting letter for my last answer (which i've tried).
Either I'll get it or to quote Arnie "I'LL BE BACK".

I just had to think more :-)
Thanks Chrisg.
It fits with the last to solve.
21d) Stuff college without female, thanks.(7)
taffeta.
Stuff being a very loose definition.

I believe TAFE colleges are in Australia? Technical And Further Education colleges...so the parsing would be TA (f)emale FE + Ta

"Spot on cobber" :-)
Might grant you a "temporary visa" :-)
There are other versions of colleges over here but that one fits the bill this time..
Thanks Heaps

Last time I was in Sydney was in 1968 - spent a couple of weeks there on a RN ship..I have very fond memories of the place.

My parents moved to Oz in 1961 (I was one year old) Lived in Sydney and surrounding suburbs 'til 2001.
Then moved my family to "country NSW" Where we have had many happy years. (Hopefully more to come)
