So they waddled and quacked to the clearing beyond.

Hey guys,

What does "clearning beyond" mean?

I know the sentence "So they waddled and quacked to the clearing beyond." means: "So they walked [like a duck] and [made the sound that ducks make] to the clearing beyond. "
Does it mean that "they waddled and quacked farther than the clearing area [or gap in area]"?

Could you transform it/ explain it to me?

It probably means that the clearing was beyond (i.e. further away than) something else that has previously been mentioned or that can be readily understood from the context as a whole.
