Her family can be your sponsor. Once you're there, make sure you get excellent grades and enter into an Australian University. Contact the Australian Immigration authority. They have a very informative website which will answer all your questions. http://www.immi.gov.au/

At age 16 you only have two possible options. 1. Go to school there through an exchange program. Those last for up to a year. A good program is EF Education, www.ef.com . Would be hard if you're on bad terms with your family though, as your family would have to sign, and most likely pay for it. 2. Get legally adopted by an Australian family. Would be harder since you would have to find an Australian family to legally adopt you. I'm sorry buddy, it's next to impossible to migrate without your parents if you're under 18. Once you turn 18, the possibilities open up. Your best bet is to graduate high school with a decent GPA, then apply for schools/universities in Australia, and get a student visa. Once you're 18 you could also apply for a working holiday visa. This visa lets you go to Australia and work for a year while on vacation. Another option when you are 18, if you and your gf are still together is to get married. If the marriage is valid, you can apply for residency, and eventually get Australian citizenship. DO NOT go to Australia and violate any immigration laws. You'll get caught, deported, and lose any possibility of getting a visa anywhere in the world, possibly for life. Best of luck though, just hang in there for 2 more years.
