Australia gap year

So in September I'm planning a years trip to Australia on a working visa, I am an 18 year old female planning to go alone! Any advice on how safe it is for me to go alone or any advice about the gap year in General would be appreciated thanks

Extremely safe. I found Australia to be alot friendlier and safer than the UK, especially in the main cities. With the warmer weather, more people are out and about in the evenings/nights.

You will meet alot of new people who usually form themselves into groups for traveling around together.
