Answer
North Wales is the perfect place to spend the Summer!
When I was 17 I went to Wakestock festival in Abersoch, and had so much fun. Get a good gang of boys and girls, a tent and and a lot of beer- amazing. Start saving up now, it's quite pricey but worth every penny!
How about go-karting? http://www.glasfryn.co.uk/ -This place near Pwllheli is really fun, loads of my lad mates go on their stag do's there.
Not sure which part of North Wales you're in, but you've got loads of nice beaches- lleyn peninsula is really nice.
Nothing to do in North Wales? Really?!
You live in one of the most beautiful parts of the Uk- make the most of the countryside! You could get a group together and climb up Snowdon.
A few more places are- http://www.thefuncentre.co.uk/ (looks childish but they do adults night!),
http://www.ttadventure.co.uk - rope climbing course
http://www.shaggysheepwales.co.uk/sswfunmudassaultcourse.htm
A bit further- Alton towers or Drayton Manor.

Answer
Australia is a very safe country though we do have our share of crime and violence - you'll be fine if you use normal commonsense. It's MUCH safer here than Africa and Egypt for example.
Camping grounds are the cheapest and they're all over the place. Next cheapest will be a hostel and there's a huge network of very good ones located in all of the best places.

Most local authorities will frown on you just setting up a camp by the side of the road because of litter and hygiene concerns but there will be a rest area or camping ground not too far away where you'll be able to stay.
I can't believe the other person who said there's not much to do here! The country is too huge and varied to do more than touch on a few suggestions but you mustn't miss our thousands of km of magnificent surf beaches, beautiful estuaries, diving or snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, the Blue Mountains, sailing in the Whitsunday Passage, Fraser Island, North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands, Pumicestone Passage, our temperate rainforests, our tropical rainforests, whitewater rafting, our beautiful cities, the Great Ocean Road and hundreds more and that's just the east coast and the eastern corner of the south coast. You won't see Australia and do it justice in under 6 months and you really need much longer.
The only places you can't and shouldn't enter are Aboriginal reserves if you don't have a permit. Everywhere else is open to you - no private beaches, no no-go areas though be very aware of crocodiles if you're thinking of camping on or near a beach or river in the far north - we lose a couple of people to crocs every year so the danger is very real.
You MUST have a visa before you come to Australia - you won't be able to board an aircraft headed here without one. You haven't told us where you're from so it's not possible to answer any more specifically about visas though it will be difficult to get a tourist visa for any longer than 3 months. The only possible visa that will allow you to work is a 12 month Working Holiday or Work and Holiday visa but that's only a possibility if your country participates in the program. If not, you are not allowed to work under any circumstances. Casual work like food and bar work and fruitpicking will be fairly easy to come by.

Fastest (and often the cheapest) way of getting around is flying but you'll overfly many of the must see places and must do activities if you only travel that way. Probably the best and cheapest way if you can afford the initial outlay is to buy a cheap campervan - you'll be able to sell it again before you leave for not much less than you paid for it. Otherwise, hop on - hop off buses are probably the best. The distances are generally too huge for bicycles.
