recommendations of where to live in Australia as a 17 year old male from London.

Dear Reddit a 17 year old male from London, England, and I recently had the blessing of my video game crowdfunding being successful, I have paid off the taxes from that so now I have the money waiting to be used on the game.

After careful consideration I decided that I don’t want to stay in London, the knife crime here is terrible, the people are miserable and unsupportive plus I would like to experience a new environment and climate

Hense I decided on Australia over The likes of the US & Canada.

Fortunately the UK and Australia have a good relationship and people here are often approved for visas in 5 minutes (I’m not even joking it’s a real thing)

However I assume that the visa I will be applying for is much different as I want to get one to do with business and investing as my company will bring around 30 different jobs in the tech sector, and I would like to get a citizenship (I have researched on different visa’s I can apply for and I’m currently in the process of looking for more so please let me know if you guys have any suggestions)

Secondly, I’ve been researching on the right place to live with Melbourne and Sydney being my two main options however all I have seen are contradictory statments from people so I’m writing her to request some help from reddit to please give me city suggestions and the right neighbourhood for which I can purchase my home, my budget is around 1.5-2 million AUD. I will give a little bit more information about me so i can receive the best advice possible:

1•) I want to experience a year of school and university in Australia, i know it’s hard to make friends when moving to a new country so i will love to be able to at least experience a year of high school/secondary plus a university to make some life long friends (also i will begin tutoring before and whilst I arrive so I can be on par with my peers 2•) somewhere with nice weather after suffering in the UK’s freezing cold temperatures I would like somewhere warm 3•) as I am a Black Male I would like somewhere with some diversity 4•) a safe neighbourhood that I will be able to grown into both metaphorically and literally, I would want it in an ideal location that will be friendly

Thank you for any suggestions and I would love to hear any advice and tips you have!

P.s I forgot to add, I will be living by myself I am officially financially independent and can afford all the costs that could and will arise
