Can you define what the meaning of president is?

Sure:

1. One who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding.
2. One who acts unwisely on a given occasion

Nothing like a few beers to drown that austerity and make them practically indistinguishable from the Aussies

I've often thought of visiting Oz, but the funds are not there, yet.

So if I plan a trip to Oz, what would you Aussies say would be the best destinations, allowing for the following:
* I would love to visit Tasmania (I know...)
* I'm not into urban so much, but it would be great to mingle in a city to learn the talk of the street and local customs etc...
* The Outback sounds great, but not top on the list by any means.
* Coastal towns are appealing
* Diversity, Diversity, Diversity
* Indigenous studies; particularly those related to survival and tradition
* Ecology - heck, I'll even volunteer to eradicate some cane toads

I have some ideas in mind, but I'd really love to hear input from all the Aussies here.

Well if I said you have to visit melbourne that would probably be a bias answer

I would say it depends on the time of year, melbourne can be fairly cold and rainy (though not so much lately with the drought) in the winter. While queensland can get pretty damn hot and humid in summer (depending on the area).

I think the outback may be a tad boring.. but if you want diversity and want to see some desert I would probably go to western Australia, Ive heard its beautiful, but I have never been myself.

Its a big country
