I've lived in Aus my whole life and it is a beautiful country, you would be nuts not to want to come here. I havn't really travled around Aus much, though Brisbane and Melbourne are both really nice, clean, and generally friendly places.

If you're from a country that has working holiday arrangements with Australia, you could come and work on a 12 month Working Holiday (UK, Canada) or Work and Holiday (USA) visa, but you are not qualified in any occupation that would enable you to get a visa to allow you to stay longer and will have to leave when your visa is about to expire. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/ Everywhere in Australia is safe but not many places are cheap. Of our capital cities, Adelaide has the lowest accommodation costs but there is plenty of work for temporary working holiday makers in smaller cities and towns throughout the country and accommodation costs are generally lower in those locations. On a working holiday, you can only work for each employer for up to 6 months and you only have 12 months in total before you have to leave the country so most people travel around picking up casual work as they go so that they get to see as much of Australia as possible during their limited stay here. EDIT: Jocccky, the Asker appears to be from the USA and Work and Holiday visas for US citizens are for 12 months ONLY with no possibility of a second 12 months.

It depends more on "what type of climate do you want to live in?"

Ozmania does not quite have it right !! You can actually do two years on a working holiday visa. This is for people between the ages of 18 and 30, who have no dependents and are citizens of countries who have working holiday agreements with Australia, To qualify for a second working holiday visa in Australia you must complete three months of seasonal work in regional Australia; anywhere in Australia except Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, the NSW Central Coast, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne or the ACT. Seasonal work is defined as picking crops or general maintenance crop work, or any other work associated with packing or processing the harvest. In the 1st year, spend your first three months travelling around fruit picking or the like, then in the remaining nine months and also the second year, you can work where you want. Australia is one of the safest places in the World. Take care of yourself as if you would at home. Some people say that Australia is not cheap. It will certainly not be cheap if you want to buy things from your own country. (they have to be imported)

If you want a relax life, Adelaide is the best choice. It has the lowest cost of living of all the main land in Australia.
