Looking for a job and places to hike in NSW.

Been going around NSW with my mates, DSLR and a pair of walking shoes. Really makes for a fun day :))

Here's something I made up for the Class of 2017 Year 12 graduating students who have no idea what to do with their free time after exams.
Quiz to determine what to do if you're finished with exams
Question 1a. Do you have your Ls?
Yes: See Question 1b.
No: Now's probably a good time to get started. See Question 2 for more activities.
Question 1b: Do you have your Ps?
Yes: Good on you. See Question 2 for more activities.
No: Get those hours up! Time to find a driving instructor or a fully-licensed adult you trust to go practise. See Question 2 for more activities.
Question 2: Have you ever had a job? Do you also have a Tax File Number (TFN)?
Yes: If you still have it, you can probably ask to do more now. If you don't, either it's time to look for one, go back if possible or volunteer and build up your resume! (It's also probably high time to rewrite your resume.) Dig up your TFN for course offers next year if you're looking at CSP places (see "edit" outside spoiler). See Question 3a for more activities.
No: Time to go job hunting, mate. Also probably time to get a TFN (read "edit" outside spoiler). Read from the "If you don't" section, in the "yes" answer above. See Question 3a for more activities.
Question 3a: Did you stop watching your favourite shows for exams?
Yes: Time to either marathon it again or find the newest series and watch it! Bring on the popcorn! See Question 4 for more activities.
No: See Question 3b.
Question 3b: Did you have a favourite show prior to exams?
Yes: Time to marathon it again. See Question 4 for more activities.
No: Oh, that's not your thing? What about books, videos, music albums, movies, games or other entertainment then? Surely there's something of interest to you out there. See Question 4 for more activities.
Question 4: Did you get enough sleep and exercise during exams?
Yes: Wow, good on you! You're super good at keeping to schedules. See Question 5 for more activities.
No: Time to get that back on track! See Question 5 for more activities.
Question 5: Do you have any hobbies you haven't revisited in a while? Friends who are done with exams too and you haven't seen for a while?
Yes: There you go! Go and visit them again. See Question 6a, especially if you said you haven't seen your friends in a bit.
No: Time to find some! Join a community club, go outdoors or stay at home watching Netflix or go on the internet flicking mindlessly through semi-interesting Youtube videos until you find something interesting. Better yet, add to AN's forums. See Question 6a for more activities.
Question 6a: Are you and your friends are bored and seemingly have nothing to do still?
Yes: You guys should pack for Schoolies. If that's not your thing, then you could have a tame version nearby and visit local tourist attractions, go Christmas shopping or just do some fun activities together for a couple of days. If it's money you don't have, go back to Question 2. Otherwise, see Question 7 for more activities.
No: Time to do whatever doesn't bore you together. If that's not possible, see Question 6b.
Question 6b: Are your friends not done yet/ do you not have that many friends?
Yes: Time to go back to Questions 1- 5 to occupy your time in the meantime. See Question 7 for more activities.
No: If they're done, time to go back to Question 6a. If that doesn't help, go back to Questions 1 - 5 for help. If neither of those help, see Question 7.     
Question 7: Do you have a good list of activities to do now?
Yes: It's time to get started on that! :)
No: Alright, we have two final options. (1) Time to think about a good bucket list to do and revisit Question 1 - 6 in the hopes of finding a more extreme list of activities or (2) Join the ranks of AN and contribute until we find something to interest you!   
I am not so good with constructing diagrams so if someone has some free time, feel free to make one of this. It'll probably be more comprehensive that way.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that if the above was relevant to you, this advice will help: If you do not have a Tax File Number (TFN) and you are intending on getting a job or go to university/ tertiary institution on a CSP (i.e. you want a HECS loan, instead of paying full fee), you will need to apply for one during this extended break.
To make things easier for you, here's the link to begin the process.

This is perfect AngelWings!! Thanks so much :))) I've already got so much to do in my head but just didn't know how to sort it all out, so this definitely helped.
