Either one you will loads of teams to play in, Aussie rules AFL is mostly played in Victoria/Adelaide, your main 'League' team would be the Brisbane Broncos which I am sure you have caught up with on TV if you have Sky.
Good luck and I am sure you will love living in Australia, you'll make lots of friends and you will be thankful your parents decided to migrate over here.
Look forward to watching you one day playing for the Broncos!

AFL is 'Footy' in VIC. Melbourne Storm are the best NRL team.
Union in Oz is pretty much dead on it's feet apart from the national team, League is the big game and is mostly an East coast sport.
AFL is expanding all over Oz with teams in WA, NSW,QLD, SA & VIC although historically it's a VIC sport. If you get a chance go to an AFL game, I saw Demons vs Bombers at MCG. It's a great game once you get into it & understand the rules.
There are local teams of Aussie Rules all over Oz as they use the Cricket pitches in the off season.
