I moved from the UK when i was 16, my family decided to move to New Zealand.
Although i was scared witless about moving to a totally different country and leaving family and friends, it was the best thing my parents ever did.
My life was so much better after i moved, people were really friendly. I was extremely shy and my first day of school was a real scary day for me but i don't know why i worried, it was fantastic, people were really friendly and made me feel welcome. It takes a bit to adjust to a new way of life but once you get there and settle down you will realise what a great thing it was to move.
Plus there are so many ways to keep in touch with your friends, email, letters, phone etc. I thought i would loose my school friends when i moved but i couldn't be more wrong, we were in constan contact and always have been since.
Don't worry and don't be scared, its the best country ever Australia.
Do not worry about the flight at all, you sleep a lot of it anyway so it doesn't take as long as you would think. I do the flight every year and a half. Its actually quite exciting
Take care
