Moving from the UK to australia...should i?

i'm 18 now an seriously considering moving to australia when i finish my education. anyone got experience? ive never even been abroad! just fed up of the UK...need to get out and make something of my life

You can't just "move to Australia", you need a recognised skill that will enable you to get a work permit.
At 18 and just finishing your education, you are unlikely to have such skill(s). You will have only a school education, no degree nor trade qualifications.
Your best bet by a long chalk will be to get a "young persons working visa" which is available to 18 - 30 yr olds and enables them to stay in and work in Australia for 12 months. This will give you the opportunity to have a good look at our country and maybe decide that you would like to apply for some sort of more permanent residence.
Go to the following site and begin the process. I will say that this is a very popular form of working holiday for "young people" and many of them end up coming back to stay.

I am just back from New Zealand!!! you should definitely go!!!!!!! travelling is such a great way to grow as a person, and 'de-stress'!!! you will gain so many memories!! it is an opportunity not to miss!

The first deciding factor should be the climate - and even if you dont find what you looking for at 18 - you can afford to make some mistakes....

Dont take it all so serious - if you dont do it now - tommorow you wake up and you are 30 - sitting with a bunch of regrets!!!

GO FOR IT!!!!

Are you mad?
Haven't you heard?
It's full of Australians.
All saying things like
"G'day, Bruce"

Everyone has their own pros and cons to weigh up when moving abroad.

I moved from England to Australia and I'm loving it here. I do miss friends and family sometimes, but there are so many British people sometimes it feels like home, but with nicer weather!

In your case it would be best to get a working holiday visa so you can come over for a year and decide if you like it enough to stay longer. You won't regret it!
