That depends on your preferences of course. Here's mine:
Best - laidback attitudes of people. BEAUTIFUL country. Lots of stuff to do, either outdoorsy stuff, or in the cities. Close to Australia and pacific islands for holidays. You can choose to live in subtropical northland, or continental dunedin. Dolphins. mountains. flat plains. BEACHES! Never live more than 1-2 hours from a beach.
Worst - depends what you do but pay is not as good as US or Uk. But lifestyle can be way better. Not all people are not as forward or as outgoing as alot of people in the US and some americans find that hard. We don't generally have air conditioning in houses, so it can be quite hot or cold if you'r in an old house. But if you have your own house you can make sure its up to scratch.
If you make a comment on what you are worried about I can give you my opinion on it!

bad things, student loans, high taxes but still have to pay to see the doctor (unlike the UK), can be hard to get work because low population compared to bigger places, relativly low wages compared to many other countries. I think OZ has 30% higher wages now which is pretty sad really.
good things: the sea is usually close to most places, fresh air and greenery.
