Moving to Yukon

I am an Australian citizen of 18 years old from Perth, Australia. My friend who is from New Zealand is moving to Yukon because her uncle has a business there and is setting her up with a job for a year. I am really considering coming along with her and was wondering, what is Yukon like? Any advice on moving from Australia to Yukon would be interesting. I have just finished high school at a prestigious college in Perth and want to begin working immediately, am currently deciding on whether to go to University or adventure to Yukon with my friend.

Edit: She is to be stationed with her uncle in Dawson at an Inn.
